CHICAGO, IL — As it moves close to the half-year mark, Chicago has seen a sharp drop in shootings in 2018 compared to the same time the previous two years. Homicides also have seen a decrease, although not as great as overall shootings.
As of Sunday, April 15, 611 people have been shot this year, according to police data collected by the Chicago Tribune. That's down from 901 in 2017 and 946 in 2016.
For fatal shootings, the city has seen 127 in 2018, so far, the Tribune reports. There were 171 homicides during the same time in 2017 and 172 in 2016.
Last year, Chicago saw a drop in shootings and homicides, going from 771 in 2016 to 650 in 2017, according to Chicago police data. Shootings also decreased from 3,550 to 2,785, police said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration signed a new contract on July 25 to acquire “fresh” human fetal tissue to transplant into “humanized mice” so that these mice will have a functioning “human immune system,” according to information published by the FDA and the General Services Administration.
“The objective is to acquire Tissue for Humanized Mice,” said a June 13 FDA “presolicitation notice” for the contract.
The contractor, the notice said, would “provide the human fetal tissue needed to continue the ongoing research being led by FDA.
“Fresh human tissues are required,” said the notice, “for implantation into severely immune-compromised mice to create chimeric animals that have a human immune system.”
