Mayor Rahm Emanuel delivered one of the most anticipated speeches of his tenure.
During his roughly 45-minute long speech, the mayor outlined what he referred to as a "blueprint to confront gun violence," including hiring 500 more police officers and investing in technology such as gunshot-tracing cameras for use in the city's six most violent police districts. Paris Schutz was there and joins us from the scene.
