Chicago Firefighter Michael Altman entered that building in Rogers Park without hesitation, as did his fellow firefighters. They went home, but he did not. There is a special place in Heaven for those who lose their lives running toward the flames to protect us. Let there also be a special place in our hearts for them too. May God bless Michael and may we gather as a city to support his family and colleagues who now carry the burden of his loss. @AFFI1935 @CFDMedia @CFDLocal2

This morning, I met with the Fort Wayne Police Department and our federal partners to learn more about how they are working together to track down violent gun offenders using advanced, proven technology and enhanced investigative resources. Our law enforcement agencies are united in their pursuit of anyone who threatens public safety. I cannot state this strongly enough: If you choose to commit gun violence in Fort Wayne, you will be identified, you will be pursued, and you will be brought to justice.
