Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order creating the "Office of Gun Violence Reduction" on Thursday.

He said, "From day one in office, my number one priority has been driving down violence and breaking the cycles of trauma and despair which have disrupted the lives of countless Chicagoans—with this executive order we are bringing together every tool at our disposal to save lives and build safer communities." 

Less than two hours after Johnson's executive order was signed last week, Chicago police said two people were killed after an unknown suspect opened fire; the shooting is still under investigation.

"Two male victims were discovered in the rear of a residence with multiple gunshot wounds to the body," the report said.
