December 5th, 2017 by WCBC Radio

Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday announced a slew of immediate measures and emergency legislation focused on combating violent crime in Baltimore. "Let me be crystal clear," Hogan said in a press conferences at his Baltimore office. "I have absolutely no tolerance whatsoever for these repeat violent offenders and these criminal gangs causing lawlessness in our streets." Across the state, 10,000 people are associated with gangs, and 5,000 firearms were used in crimes last year, Hogan said. Many shooting victims in Baltimore have criminal records themselves, and 60 percent of those convicted in Baltimore on gun crimes don't serve time behind behind bars.
