Cabrini-Green gang leaders agree to truce amid violence
Rival Cabrini-Green gangs reportedly forged a truce after a summit near the Chicago public housing complex. Police conducted a Sunday sweep of 260 vacant units seeking weapons and squatters, finding only drug paraphernalia and part of a gun used in a killing. Mayor Byrne's move into a Cabrini-Green building accompanied the crackdown, with officials noting the weapons removal aided the truce.
