I have seen this come up in several stories about Chicago violence.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>"In a city of 2.7 million people, about 1,400 are responsible for much of the violence, Mr. Johnson said, and all of them are on what the department calls its Strategic Subject List.

So far this year, more than 70 percent of the people who have been shot in Chicago were on the list, according to the police, as were more than 80 percent of those arrested in connection with shootings".<<<
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The 1400 are those that are most likely to shoot, or be shot.

Where things get a little fuzzy for me is that Chicago should start running out of those 1,400 people pretty quick. If 70% of victims and 80% of shooters are on that list-How many of the original 1,400 can be left at this point.

If the 1,400 is a valid thingie-the shooting numbers should start to drop pretty soon.

It's like the terrorist groups. We've killed their leaders over and over, and after a while new ones take their place. Either that or they're vampires.

Most of the guys on that list are probably gang members. Gangs never seem to run out of new recruits or more reasons for a revenge drive-by. Gun violence in Chicago is not going to go down due to attrition.
