Chicago police boost mass transit presence amid crime spike


CHICAGO (AP) — A spike in crime on Chicago’s rail system and some recent high profile outbursts of violence has prompted the city’s police department to put 50 more officers in trains and on platforms and assign four detectives to investigate nothing but Chicago Transit Authority crimes, officials announced Friday.

Hours after the new security plan was unveiled, Chicago police said an officer shot a man on the platform of a CTA station in the Chicago’s River North neighborhood.

Deadly polar vortex is hitting the US Midwest and East Coast this week

A polar vortex is an area of circulating cold air that ring the planet’s North and South poles. Sometimes that vortex destabilizes, sending surges of Arctic air south.

Windchill temperatures could hit minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and parts of Minnesota, far below average for this time of year.

In these temperatures, frostbite can strike within minutes.

If Arctic ice continues to melt, polar-vortex events could get more frequent.
