SAN DIEGO -- A 25-year-old University of San Diego graduate who had recently moved to Chicago for a new job was killed by a stray bullet last week.

Toughest gun laws don’t seem to work. Sad for this family.
Should declare ChiRaq a war zone along with several other cities that for some reason never get mentioned.
I heard it winged a guy in Flagstaff.
Quagmire! Time for the US to pull out of Chicago.
Any place the criminal DemoRats touch turns to a pile of excrement. Without fail.
She wasn’t black, so I guess her life doesn’t matter. So sad. So pretty.
Who writes these headlines? It’s as bad as: “Throw mother from the train as kiss.”
I hate the Ghetto Culture, it kills and destroys, nothing great can come from it. I wish these folks would get rid of it and the thugs and merge into mainstream America, yeah they would be in a sense “white bread” but you know what, white bread is better than being dead, RIP.
Haha! That was my first thought. Helluva stray bullet to get to SD from Chicago.
The story says she was sitting in her car in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood. Does anyone know the area? Is this a risky neighborhood — other than being in Chicago, that is.
It always amazes me that there always seem to be more deaths from “stray bullets” than from targeted fire. It’s almost as if they bounce off the intended targets and then go on to hit innocent bystanders. Or maybe the bystanders aren’t so innocent.
I’m a Chicago native, born and bred, and I had never in my life heard of a “Heart of Chicago” neighborhood, so I had to look it up.
Turn out it is a “rebranding” someone is attempting of the infamous “Humboldt Park” neighborhood, a hotbed of Latino gang warfare. They’ve been trying to “gentrify” that neighborhood for about three decades now, but it is still not a place you want to be after dark.
See my comment #15.
That, sadly, was my first thought after reading the headline.
Very sad.
Having said that, I would not go to chicago to throw up.
This story is so sad, so tragic. And it certainly will get worse, if for no other reason than the Dem's have a lock on the city.
Back in the Roaring 20's, there were calls to deploy the Illinois National Guard to Chicago, to stamp out Al Capone and the other gangsters. The Guard, of course, was never used, but that plan might have worked. Just clamp the city down, tight.
But no way would that work today. You'd eventually end up with either dead Guardsmen or Kent State type shootings. I guess there is no solution except to stay out of Chicago.
They should replace the “welcome to Chicago” sign with, “ abandon hope all ye who enter here”
