After 10 people were shot ? seven of them in one incident ? overnight in Baltimore after the city's most violent month in decades, police announced Sunday that 10 federal agents will embed with the city's homicide unit for the next two months.
The agents detailed to the city from the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Secret Service represent a "flipping of the script of sorts," Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said.
:scaredThe department's homicide clearance rate is 36 percent, Davis said, and the agents will use their federal resources to help homicide detectives try to solve the rest of the 187 killings in the city this year.
Forty-five people were killed in July, matching an all-time monthly high from 1972, when the city had 275,000 more residents. Forty-two people were killed in May after the unrest over the death of Freddie Gray, 25, from a spinal cord injury in police custody.
