Chicago is installing bleeding control kits as gun violence spirals out of control

Amid Chicago ‘s struggle to contain gang and shooting violence the city has taken a dramatic new step to stave off deaths from said violence. According to NBC Chicago, city officials have spent the past week or more installing what are called blood control kits — that essentially would save someone’s life (assuming one knows how to use them.)
