When the City of Gary was rocked recently by an all-out gun battle at a public housing project, prompting the mayor to declare a citywide emergency, news wires carried the following report on the shootout, with no further comment: “Witnesses said gunmen in bulletproof vests stormed the Delaney Housing Project on Wednesday night.”
