Neighbors are in shock after a shooting rampage in Chicago's Marquette Park neighborhood left a woman and three children dead overnight. Two others were hospitalized.
Chicago Police picked up the suspect on foot without incident a few miles away at 59th Street and Racine Avenue. A weapon was recovered from a car nearby.
Family members said the suspect was visiting from Madison, Wis. The big question is what made him open fire on his whole family.
"He just went crazy. He shot everybody in the house," said Ella Smith, an aunt of one of the victims.
She says while her brother was behind bars in Wisconsin, he had become a Muslim. Sources say he told them he had been hearing voices that told him to kill his family. Sources also say he had planned on killing more people in the house, but had run out of bullets.

“He was like just saying little weird little stuff, talking about about he an angel and we demons — there’s demons in the house.”
Perhaps he did it because they refused to convert to Islam. Perhaps what he read in the “book” was one of those passages where Allah says to kill the infidels if they refused to convert.
If you live in Madison, this is a sort of man biting dog story. Usually, the crime comes from Chicago to Madison, not the other way around. Madison has changed and not in any good ways in the last twenty years.
He wasn’t that crazy I guess
“He said the Muslim in some book he always carried around and read said that....”
Um. It’s not just some “book” - it’s the Koran.
Islam is as Islam does..
