CHICAGO—A mass shooting that started with a brawl among a group of teens has left two people dead and eight wounded late Thursday, blocks from the Magnificent Mile, according to Chicago police, who say they have one person in custody.(snip)
The shooting happened about 10:40 p.m. in the 800 block of North State Street outside the Chicago Avenue subway station and a McDonald’s at 10 E. Chicago Ave.(snip)
In a statement, Mayor Lori Lightfoot decried the “outrageous act of violence” and promised to put more police officers in the area, including a fixed post at the intersection and another at the Red Line station. (snip)
Deonna Jackson, 18, had come downtown to hang out with her friends.
“I was getting off the train and I spotted a group of teens fighting,” Jackson said. “The teens started rushing towards me and they’re all attacking one person — they were jumping someone.”
”I’m kind of used to that happening right here but I just don’t involve myself.”
Jackson separated herself from the tussle and “made it to the corner.”
That’s when a girl approached her, asked what was happening and then asked Jackson for her help, explaining that she was trying to find her friend who may have been involved in the fight.
But then someone in a white car pulled up to them and she “found her people,” said Jackson, who began making her way to the 7-Eleven across the street.
“All of a sudden shots went off,” Jackson said. “I flew inside of the store (7-Eleven).”
When the hail of gunfire halted, she ran outside to try and help the victims. “I was scared,” Jackson said.
“I ran toward the people who were lying on the street,” Jackson said. “They (victims) were on the sidewalk in front of the McDonald’s.”

Those darn yutes.
Liberal chickens coming home to roost. Just another day in Mayor Lori Lightfoot ‘s Chicago.
IIRC this is the 2nd or 3rd shooting at this McDonald’s.

Yep, just another day in Chicago with the teens.
(Those darn yutes)
Those darn teens I think you meant.
😁
The answer is clear. We must defund the police!
The city needs to cease red line service south of the University of Chicago after 6:00PM or 7:00PM.
It was much more peaceful when red line construction work cut-off access to the far south for a couple of years.
“The Chicago Avenue red line stop is where many of the ghetto rats terrorizing the Mag Mile arrive and depart.”
I know right where that is.
“The city needs to cease red line service south of the University of Chicago after 6:00PM or 7:00PM.”
Racist.

Archie and Jughead were getting into a rumble with Wally and the Beav. Andy Hardy was egging them on.
LOL
I’ve been to that MCD several times. If you see groups of “youths” gathering on a warm or weekend evening anywhere near Michigan Ave., its time to leave.
LOL Holding any black criminal to account is racist in the People's Republic of Chicago these days.
Not too much longer before people start taking the law into their own hands.
That advice isn’t just good for Michigan Ave.

Correction: It’s not time to go. It’s time to never go.
It will only get more fun. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to a fun fun summer.
Bernie Getz needs to make comback.
This is exactly why the Dirty Harry films began. Criminal running wild, and DA’s more concerned about the defendants rights then the rights of the victim.
Hiw can she want more police in the area, when the liberal view is that we are supposed to defund the police?
And the vigilante films done by Charles Bronson .
