The first four people shot in Chicago in the new year were wounded by officers answering calls of shots fired in two South Side neighborhoods, authorities said.

Three of the people were shot shortly before 2 a.m. in the Fernwood neighborhood after officers heard gunfire in the 100 block of West 105th Street, police said.

A 25-year-old man and a 30-year-old man were taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center, and a woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, also in critical condition, officials said.

New motto for travel and tourism:

“You gotta wonder, home monitoring for UUW. And he’s out with a gun and police saw him and he’s not gonna drop the gun," Camden said. "Typical New Year’s Eve (stuff)."

Police had cleared out by mid-morning, leaving a puppy to romp alone in the snow in the backyard of the small house.

Words fail me!

I clicked on one of the actors and images of The Dirty Dozen and A Very Brady Sequel appeared. If I had a dime every time those movies were mentioned in the same sentence.... :-)

A lot of my rural neighbors were shooting guns last night, along with fireworks, nary a cop to be seen. My little wide glide pit mix dug in under the covers on the bed, and shook so hard I thought he was going to have a heart attack.

My two doxies were mighty clingy last night too.

Wonder who’s gonna win this thread. The good old “Amish” crowd with regards to the criminals or the “jack-booted thug” crowd who blame police for every shooting. (popcorn)

Jackbooted Amish.

They will have to shoot a lot more to straighten Chicago out.

“I loved that show.”

So did I! My girlfriend at that time was into Mary Hartman. I couldn’t see why. But after watching a few episodes, I was hooked! And I’ve always enjoyed Martin Mull’s work. Hilarious!
