They were in the front yard of a home about 9:05p.m. in the 2000 block of West Touhy Avenue when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up and someone inside fired shots, Chicago police said.

The 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg and taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where he was listed in good condition, police said. The girl suffered cuts to her arm from broken glass and was taken to the same hospital.

No one is in custody as Area Three detectives investigate.

Don Lemon to Terry Crews a black man who brought up the fraud of BLM ignoring Chicago “That’s not what BLM is about”. Total frauds. Millionaire Marxists.

According to Chicago authorities all the guns come from Indiana.

According to Mayor Lighthead all of the crime is caused by people from Indiana crossing the border with illegal guns.

Where are they getting their ammo from?

The NRA of course, they give it away for free on every street corner in Chicago if you watch CNN or MSLSD.

Maybe they do come from Indiana, but Chicago’s laws prevent them from going to criminals 🤮 can’t say that without gagging. Everyone in the Democrat party knows that guns cause crime (like forks cause obesity)

Science first figured out that guns were so smart they committed violence.

But this article has a scoop—weekends are the latest threat.

The only way to stop the violence is to ban all weekends!

Friday and Saturday are supposed to be cooler and possibly wet. Look for the action to pick up Sunday and Monday.
