A barbecue at a South Side park was interrupted by gunfire early Tuesday, leaving Antian Hardmon, Ayanna Northern, and Tyrone Spikes dead, and three other people injured in the Fuller Park neighborhood.

About 30 people were enjoying the barbecue, a memorial for someone who died in a crash years ago, when more than 15 shots rang out, according to a woman who wished to be identified only as “Shorty.”

Five people were shot about 12:10 a.m. in the 300 block of West 42nd Street when two males opened fire from an alley, according to Chicago Police. Lawn chairs and beer cans could be seen strewn about the edge of the park at the end of the block.

They aren’t taking their stuff to the alley, Mayor Emanuel.

**a memorial for someone who died in a crash years ago**

What better way to memorialize somebody than to kill folks!

"Five people were shot about 12:10 a.m. in the 300 block of West 42nd Street when two males opened fire from an alley,"

So, this wasn't the typical argument breaking out, fight, guns get drawn and someone gets shot. This was an ambush where two guys under concealment fire indiscriminately into a crowd. What animals.

The only viable solution is to take guns away from middle-class, mostly white, law-abiding citizens.

The only trouble with taking guns out of Chicago - how will they know when the party is over?

Black lives are lost because of black violence. Take out black crime, and the violent death rate in America goes to almost zero.
