"For the first time since 1999, serious crime took a holiday Monday in Chicago.
Police Superintendent Phil Cline says none of the city's nearly three (m) million citizens got shot. And nobody was murdered.
Cline says he was amazed to wake up yesterday and find no news of any overnight shootings or killings. He attributes the success to the pressure the department's putting on gangs -- and a little bit of luck.
Last year, Chicago had 600 killings and just over three-thousand aggravated batteries by firearm."
