Next up, hours after Chattanooga gang leaders agreed to a cease-fire, no blood has been shed in the city. The question now on everyone's minds is how long will the truce last? Chattanooga has more than 40 documented criminal street gangs, though only five are considered violent. This month alone at least 16 people have been shot and three have been killed. Gang experts say truces don't happen every day, and when they do, it's impossible to gauge how long they'll last. Sometimes a couple of days, other times years. The current plan is for Chattanooga's gangs to meet periodically and whenever necessary in hopes of keeping the peace.
