JUST OVER THREE WEEKS AGO, THEIR
27-YEAR-OLD LOVED ONE WAS KILLED
WHEN GUNFIRE ERUPTED INSIDE THE

SHEREE: FAMILY MEMBERS PUT
STRONG EMPHASIS TODAY ON FINDING

AGAIN.
A MAYORAL CANDIDATE STOOD
OUTSIDE THE CAMEO CLUB TODAY TO
TALK ABOUT HIS APPROACH TO
VIOLENT CRIME.
WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON IS
LIVE THERE NOW WITH A LOOK AT
HOW SAFETY FACTORS INTO THE MAY
SECOND VOTE.
JOHN: THE THREE CANDIDATES USE A
LOT OF THE SAME LANGUAGE WHEN
THEY TALK ABOUT SAFETY ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
TO MANY, THE DIFFERENCES DO NOT
SEEM ALL THAT STARK.
TWO WEEKS OUT FROM THE MAY
PRIMARY, THE RACE TO CATCH JOHN
CRANLEY ON THE VIOLENT CRIME
FRONT IS IN FULL STRIDE.
>> WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
JOHN: HIS FELLOW-DEMOCRATS AND
PRIMARY OPPONENTS YVETTE SIMPSON
AND ROB RICHARDSON ARE
SUGGESTING CRANLEY IS NOT DOING
ENOUGH TO CORRAL CRIME.
TODAY, RICHARDSON USED THE
FORMER CAMEO NIGHTCLUB LOCATION
AS A BACKDROP TO SAY HE'D
UPGRADE SECURITY, IMPROVE THE
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM AND
RE-INVEST IN CIRV, THE
GROUND-LEVEL INTERVENTION
EFFORT.
>> WE KNOW WE HAVE TO TARGET
HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS, HIGH-RISK
YOUTH THAT ARE MOST LIKELY TO
COMMIT THE CRIMES, BUT MAKE SURE
AS WE'RE DOING THAT WE'RE GIVING
THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO BE
EMPLOYED.
JOHN: THE INCUMBENT MAYOR
COUNTERS HIS OPPONENT'S IDEAS
ARE SOUND AND HE'S ALREADY DOING
THEM.
PUTTING MORE OFFICERS ON THE
STREET, PUTTING THE SHOT-SPOTTER
SYSTEM IN PLACE
BUT, HE ALSO POINTS TO
INVESTMENT IN JOB TRAINING.
WHAT HE CALLS A HARD-SOFT
APPROACH.
SIMPSON HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF
DEFINING IT.
>> IT TAKES THE HOOD TO SAVE THE
HOOD.
WE CAN'T HAVE A TOP-DOWN
APPROACH.
WE NEED TO WORK WITHIN
COMMUNITIES.
JOHN: WHILE DRAWING DISTINCTIONS
WITH EACH OTHER, SIMPSON AND
RICHARDSON ARE EACH TRYING TO
SHOW EARLY VOTERS THERE'S A MORE
EFFECTIVE WAY THAN THE CRANLEY
WAY.
MAY 2 COULD COME DOWN TO STYLE
POINTS.
>> IF SHE WERE TO START
SUPPORTING PUTTING MORE COPS ON
THE STREET, WE COULD DO MORE
FASTER.
BUT, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO HAVE A PRIORITY OF
PUTTING MORE COPS ON THE STREET.
THAT'S WHY THE POLICE HAVE
ENDORSED MY CAMPAIGN CAUSE THEY
KNOW THAT I'VE GOT THEIR BACK
AND THEY KNOW THAT I'M FOCUSSED
-- FOCUSED ON SAFETY.
JOHN: WITH THOSE EARLY
FIREFIGHTER ENDORSEMENTS,
CURRENTLY SEEMS CONFIDENT HE IS
NOT MORAL ROLE IN THE UPCOMING
PRIMARY ON THE TOPIC OF SAFETY.
REPORTING LIVE, JOHN LONDON,
WLWT NEWS 5.
SHEREE: OF THE THREE CANDIDATES

CUSTER'S PROGRESS FROM HIS
PARENTS.
DAN?
DAN: RYAN'S PARENTS WERE VERY
EMOTIONAL THIS AFTERNOON.
THEY SHARED SOME OF THE NEW
DETAILS WITH US.
HIS FATHER TELLS US HIS SON IS
SHOWING SOME IMPROVEMENT, BUT
THERE'S A LONG WAY TO GO.
HE SAYS RYAN HAS BEEN THROUGH
SEVERAL SURGERIES FOLLOWING HIS
TRAUMATIC HEAD INJURY AT A PARTY
IN OXFORD MORE THAN A WEEK AGO.
HE SAYS FRAGMENTS OF HIS
VERTEBRAE WERE REMOVED, PART OF
IT WAS SHAVED OFF.
HE ALSO SAYS, RYAN HAS HAD
IMPROVEMENTS IN HIS TOUCH AND
MOVEMENT, AND CAN FEEL HIS
FINGERS.
BELOW THE WAIST, THE BIGGEST
IMPROVEMENT IS THAT HE'S FELT
HIS PARENTS RUB THE TOP OF HIS
FEET.
WE LEARNED RYAN LEAVES FRIDAY
MORNING FOR CHICAGO TO BE
CONSIDERED FOR A STEM CELL STUDY
AT RUSH UNIVERSITY WHERE HE'LL
BE EVALUATED, HOPEFULLY BE
ACCEPTED, RECEIVE AN INJECTION
, AND THEN GO TO AN IN-PATIENT
REHAB FACILITY.
>> JUST CONTINUE THE PRAYERS FOR
HIM, THE MORE PRAYERS WE HAVE,
MAYBE GOD WILL ANSWER OUR
PRAYERS AND GIVE HIM THE HEALING
THAT HE NEEDS.
DAN: RYAN'S PARENTS SAY THE ONLY
ANSWER THEY CAN COME UP WITH OUT
OF ALL THIS IS THIS HE WILL
SERVE AS AN INSPIRATION FOR
OTHERS.
