  1. Cincinnati may be cracking down on gun-related issues in the city with proposed ordinances on the line. Mayor Aftab Pureval and several city council members have introduced two gun control ordinances in the city that would keep those with a domestic violence conviction from legally owning a gun. The Mayor and select council members also want to make it a crime for not properly locking up guns — especially in the event a child is harmed. The full council will vote on the ordinances in two weeks. (Local 12)
  2. Cincinnati police are looking for two male suspects (pictured at the link) who allegedly were involved in an aggravated robbery last weekend. Police are looking to identify the pair who are suspected of stealing a 69-year-old woman's car by pushing her to the ground, pointing a gun at her, and taking her vehicle around 6:50 p.m. on Werk Road in the Westwood neighborhood. If anyone recognizes the suspects from the surveillance footage captured by the Mini-Mart in the area, please call Det. J. Turner at (513) 263-8307. (FOX19)
  3. Cincinnati Assistant Police Chief Lisa Davis could be leaving the department. Davis is one of 28 applicants for the chief of police job in Toledo. The high-ranking Cincinnati police member, and U.S. Navy veteran, had applied for the chief job in her current department and was one of four finalists but ultimately did not get the position.
