Good news, I suppose
Murder Scene, originally uploaded by claz28.
Word on the street is the kid who got shot yesterday is fine - he was shot in the ass. Lots of famous people have been shot in the butt, like Alonzo on "Training Day" and Buck Compton in "Band of Brothers." So count yourself lucky, I suppose.
However, that evening, there was big ol' drive-by shooting, three blocks from where the shooting I saw happened:
The shooting happened as the five victims were standing outside near West 53rd and South Halsted Streets about 8:20 p.m. Police said the vehicle involved in the drive-by is described as a newer model, 4-door white Jeep Cherokee that left the scene westbound on 53rd.
The shooting appears to be gang related, although it is unknown if one or all of the victims were targeted, according to Chicago Police Public Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien. Two handguns were used.
D-bags.
