CLEVELAND, Ohio: Cleveland is moving to test high-tech sophisticated audio equipment that can aid police by detecting gunshots and pinpointing the location where they were fired.

Cleveland City Council’s Safety Committee on Wednesday voted support for a grant from the Cleveland Police Foundation that would pay for a two-year pilot program to test the gunfire sensor technology in the Fourth Police District on the city’s East Side.
