A woman was fatally shot in Chicago Friday night while returning home from an anti-violence group’s fundraiser.
Leonore Draper had just returned home from A Charitable Confection, a fundraiser for teen anti-violence group Project Orange Tree, when she was shot outside of her home in the 1300 block of West 116th Street, police said.
Officers said they heard shots fired in the area around 10:30 p.m. and when they arrived at the scene, they found Draper, 32, in her car with gunshot wounds to the arm and chest.

If only Chicago would have more gun laws! /s
Good thing Chicago has such good gun control. /s
That NRA is up to it’s old shananagans again.
Nothing but a PR stunt done by the locals. It usually is little more than a group that gets together at a church to recite the usual tripe about “peace” and “brotherhood”, followed by the “men” of the community (most look like gang-bangers themselves) offering inarticulate messages to the young kids about respecting their community. After that the local Jessie Jackson wannabe will deliver a sermon in his best $900.00 suit before going back to his suburban mansion. It concludes with kids reciting bad poetry they wrote about MLK or Malcolm X, and then some bad gospel music.
The money raised will likely go into a slush fund.
If it doesn't involve Jesus and repentance its not going to work.
Target criminals. Arrest, imprison, execute the murders, let the innocent be able to protect themselves.
Prayer? Sure. Why not? But The Lord helps those who help themselves.
It must be scary to live in a “Gun Free” city………….
“If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one”
Carrying a weapon might have saved this woman’s life.
Also: if her killer had been deterred by the possibility of her being armed, his soul might not now be carrying mortal sin.
...sucks...
Well noe, you told us about the meeting and I accept it as gospel, but.....
why did she get shot, ambushed?
The source for this story is NBC NEWS.
I think I would have waited for further confirmation before I posted it.
Just saying.
Shot in car:
Bad drug deal?
Unpaid debt?
Retribution?
Targeting, arresting, etc., is a proper response to the circumstance. The real solution is only found in the gospel of Christ.
BTW, "The Lord helps those who help themselves" sounds biblical but is not.
It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought... it figures
Prayers up for the woman and her family. Despite the irony, someone has been murdered, and I know I wouldn’t want that to happen to any of my family.
Carjacking gone bad? (Don’ want the ones with blood all over them and holes in the seats..)
Fighting anti-violence with violence. It’s the Chicago way!
So, what’s the body count up to this fine Sunday morning?
