CHICAGO (WLS) -- Six-time convicted felon William Groves remains in a lockup after prosecutors convinced a Cook County judge he's a danger to society.
The 48-year-old is accused of opening fire in a crowd of people attending a Halloween party in the city's North Lawndale neighborhood, injuring 15 people.
Groves, who had a pre-trial detention hearing on Tuesday, has arrests and convictions dating back to when he was 19 years old.
He faces 15 counts of attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon for the attack that happened early Sunday in the 1200 block of South Pulaski Road.
The nine men and six women were wounded. They range in age from 26 to 53, and two victims were reported to be in critical condition.
One of the victims, Paris Brown, who goes by "Tree," was shot in the back. He spoke with ABC7 on Tuesday from his hospital bed, saying the bullet traveled and is still lodged in his skull.

The holiday season is here! Nothing quite says "festive Chicago" as well as a mass shooting at a Windy City get-together.

The festivities are under way for sure. But wait they are sort of year round if you think about it. I guess the partying never stops.

How could this happen? Liberals have been telling me for years that gun controls are the only way to stop the shootings. And Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country yet this 6-time felon is walking the streets killing people because some judge let him walk. Perhaps the judge should be on trial, too.

Now arrest, and convict all the a-holes who allowed this five-time felony offender to be back on the street after that many arrests.
