Fifteen people were shot — two of them fatally — Tuesday in incidents of gun violence across Chicago, including an 18-year-old man who was gunned down in a Pilsen alleyway.

a man and woman were shot in Austin on the West Side.
They were sitting on a front porch about 9:20 p.m. in the 600 block of North Long Avenue when several males approached them on foot and opened fire, police said.
A 69-year-old woman and 36-year-old man were both struck in their legs, police said. Their conditions were stabilized at Stroger Hospital.
Earlier in the day, a woman was critically injured inside an Englewood home when she was hit by stray gunfire in a shooting that also wounded a man outside.
The 21-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk at 12:49 p.m. in front of a house in the 7300 block of South Wolcott Avenue when a white sedan pulled up and two males inside started shooting, according to police.
He was hit in the abdomen and back, police said. The 35-year-old woman inside the house was hit in the head by a bullet that came through the front window.
They were both taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where the woman was in critical condition and the man was stabilized, police said.

Ah, yes. The mighty, mighty ‘A’ shot. We were given ours by this little-but-mean female PO3 Hospital Corpsman. She was barking orders like she was a Marine drill instructor. We were boots, so didn’t know that some E4 ‘doc’ at the RTC clinic wasn’t exactly the Ultimate Command Authority she apparently thought she was. ;-)
i’ve heard of getting an early start on the weekend, but Tuesday???
*************
Naw Tuesday is the close out of the previous weekend.
Wednesday begins the build up to the coming weekend.
LOL... but if course!
I hear that shots to the leg are acceptable in the Afro Americans community. Relatives of deceased thugs will say something along the lines of, “He didn’t need to die, they could have shot him in the leg “.
She looks like she’s part amphibian. Related to Admiral Ackbar of StarWars fame ?
