A brazen midmorning shooting outside the bustling Cook County criminal courthouse on Monday left a 21-year-old man critically wounded and at least one regular to the sprawling Southwest Side complex rethinking his safety.
“These guys don’t have any boundaries,” said defense attorney Stuart Goldberg, who pulled into a parking lot next to the crime scene minutes after the shooting.
Police said the 21-year-old victim was walking on his way to the Leighton Criminal Court Building at 26th Street and California Avenue when he was hit by shots fired from someone in a white van at about 9:25 a.m. Two off-duty Chicago police officers pursued a man and made an arrest, authorities said. Police said a gun was recovered.
The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition with six gunshot wounds to the groin area, officials said. The man has a history of misdemeanor arrests and is currently on probation after pleading guilty last year to aggravated fleeing, but he did not have a court date Monday, said his attorney, Jayne Ingles.

Extra-judicial punishment by the denizens of some of Chicago’s finer neighborhoods?
How we ever elected a President, twice, from this paragon of a place is beyond me.

Six shots to the groin area... That will likely stop that DNA chain from spreading further.
He’s 21. Too late.
“That’s where they got that Picasso.”
Collared for aggravated fleeing?
So he’s got 6 or 7 lines started at least it won’t be 20.
“Six shots to the groin area...”
That’s pretty tight grouping from a drive-by.
“We” did not elect a President from there. Traitors, parasites,America haters, Self hating Whites, fools, and idiots decided that they wanted a muslim to occupy the White House and rule them and unfortunately, us, while we pretty much stayed home on two election days. Is what put the muslim bastard in the White House. The words obama and president should never be used in the same sentence.
Is the attorney carrying? Of course they have no boundaries!!! Because of Chicago leftist schmucks like him!
I was at a courthouse in Van Nuys for jury duty and in the center of courtyard from the parking garage and was obviously a gang member as he had the stupid looking clothes on. He looked to be a lookout as he was swiveling his head around constantly.
Chitcongo, Chitcongo, that toddlin' town ...
