The Justice Department says more than 8,000 violent fugitives were arrested during a six-week operation. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and the U.S. Marshals Service announced the results Wednesday of an initiative known as Operation Violent Reduction 12. Yates called the effort "targeted and focused" and said it focused on a dozen communities across the country that have high rates of violent crime.
