WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- State officials will soon have $250,000 to buy an acoustic gunshot detection system called ShotSpotter.

Public Safety and Homeland Security Secretary Lewis Schiliro says a decision hasn't been made on whether to buy a fixed or mobile unit and where to put it, but he's leaning toward a fixed unit for Wilmington. Last year, 25 people were killed and 125 were shot in the city.

Delaware's Congressional delegation says in a news release that gun violence has dropped significantly in places where ShotSpotter has been used.

But Schiliro and Wilmington Police Chief Michael Szczerba say they don't know how much it will cost to make it compatible with the city's surveillance camera system. Schiliro says he's negotiating with the company for a 30-day trial.
