A 10-member intelligence team of D.C. police detectives and agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been formed in the newest effort to rein in the deadly gun violence on the streets of the District.
The team comprises four D.C. police detectives and a sergeant paired with four ATF special agents and their supervisor. The team will focus on guns and casings linked to multiple shootings in an effort to identify the shooters so that they can be arrested and prosecuted.
