When he stepped outside Friday night and did not return, his son went outside and found his father on the ground, she said.

This begs the question what happened to the daughter who was outside with Dad?

They boasted the other day that 6500 guns were taken off the street in Chicago, well, looks like one didn’t or it has been replaced. The beat goes on in Chicago.

Hmmm, Doesn’t IL have strict gun laws? Are they not the last state that doesn’t have a CC provision? Didn’t the shooter respect the “gun free” zone of IL? Oh my gosh! This may mean the the criminal broke the law! Who would have ever thought that might happen?
