'Community guns' a persistent Avondale problem

In some parts of Cincinnati, guns are as accessible to the public as water fountains and bus stops for those who know where to look. According to police, "community guns" -- firearms stashed in inconspicuous locations around the city and usable by anyone who finds them -- are a persistent problem in some of the neighborhoods hardest-hit by gun violence. The Cincinnati Police Department announced Thursday its officers had confiscated 11 such guns from an open apartment garage in Avondale, where community activists and law enforcement are both working to reduce rates of gun violence that once made it the most dangerous place in the city.
