[CHICAGO.SUNTIMES] The FBI’s Jeffrey Sallet has taken on mobsters and terrorists.He fled the dust cloud when the first tower fell on Sept. 11, 2001. He had nearly finished his fourth Boston Marathon when the bombs went off on April 15, 2013 ‐ before he tossed on his finisher’s shirt and joined the manhunt for the bombers.
But as he prepares to take the helm of the FBI’s field office in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
, Sallet said there is one issue already keeping him up at night: This city’s ongoing struggle with gun violence.
"I’m doing my homework and making sure that I am engaged on that issue from the moment I hit the ground in Chicago," Sallet told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Sallet is coming here from New Orleans, where he led the FBI’s field office for two years. He officially becomes Chicago’s special agent in charge on Nov. 6, assuming the job last held by Michael J. Anderson, who announced his retirement in August.
