A bus transporting students to a Far South Side parochial school was believed to have been hit by gunfire this morning as the vehicle was picking up children in the South Deering neighborhood, authorities said.

Neither the driver nor any of the approximately 25 students on the bus at the time were injured, police said.

Police were called to Our Lady of Guadalupe School, 9050 S. Burley Ave., about 7:40 a.m., following a report of criminal damage to a bus there, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada. Police found that a gunshot appears to have entered one of the windows of the bus, traveled through a seat, then exited another window, in the incident in the 10600 block of South Calhoun Avenue, said News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.

The bus was hit as it was picking up children about two miles away from the school, said Ryan Blackburn, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Chicago's Officer of Catholic Schools.

This conversion won't be cheap, I'm guessing "federal" funds will be needed:

This has been going on since the 1970’s.

Wonder why they even report it.

Remember the residents near the closed steel mill that BO claimed he helped as a community organizer? That’s the neighborhood.

I guess the gangs who have "the wrong values" just aren't listening to Rahm who begged them to keep their shootings and murders to the back alleys, and to move their shootouts away from "the chilrun."
