27 people were shot in 8 hours in Chicago Wednesday and on Thursday the US Attorney General was in the city to talk about a federal strike force to help address gun violence.

Governor JB Pritzker says he welcomes the Attorney General and recently talked to the White House about what is needed to help quell the violence in Chicago and other cities in Illinois.

But is the National Guard needed?

Pritzker says the Illinois State Police have been and continue to be ready to work with the Chicago Police Department.
