OKLAHOMA CITY - Officers are set to tackle what neighbors are
calling an overwhelming mess. Police say they are ready to shift
gears with a fresh focus on crime hotspots in Oklahoma City.

Most of the violence involves gangs, according to police. It's not
uncommon for officers to saturate their turf. When that happens,
the gangs eventually go elsewhere, according to Capt. Dexter
Nelson.

Violence in Oklahoma City reached a boiling point Tuesday night.
Detectives worked three homicides throughout Oklahoma City.
They also worked a shooting at NE 36th and Prospect, where that
act of violence did not come as a surprise to neighbors.

The police gang unit at Sooner Haven pulled back in early 2013 as
crime in the area fell, but Tuesday night's shooting has officers
reconsidering that decision. It also has neighbors demanding more
from officials.
