10 shot in Chicago in just 24 hours

Post by OakRidgeStars »

I guess the Mayor's office had more important things to do like preventing another Chick-fil-A restaurant from opening.

From Chicago Tribune

Ten people were wounded by gunfire in a handful of robberies and other attacks across the South and West sides on Friday and Saturday, police said.

An 18-year-old was shot in the chest during a driveby shooting in the Pilsen neighborhood on the West Side and is in critical condition atJohn H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, police said. Police were called about 3:10 a.m. to the scene in the 1900 block of South Morgan Street after receiving a report of a person being shot and found a crowd surrounding the victim who was laying on the sidewalk.

Witnesses on the scene told police they observed a red Ford Explorer driving southbound on Morgan with approximately 4-5 people inside. Witnesses heard gunshots coming from the vehicle, which fled westbound on Cullerton Street. Witnesses told police they heard someone inside the Explorer shouting gang slogans. The victim doesn't have any documented gang affiliations, police said.

Wait just a minute! This couldn't have happened. Guns are illegal in Chicago.

They keep shooting the wrong damn citizens!!! Now if it were Rahm or Holder or some other walking piece of tripe it would be almost worth celebrating,
