CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police have charged a 19-year-old man they say fatally shot two teens in the South Shore neighborhood after they asked how tall he was.
Police say Laroy Battle, 19, opened fire on two teens in an alley in the 7900-block of South Luella Avenue around 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 20.
According to Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan, the shooting took place after the two teens and a friend had a brief encounter with Battle, whom they did not know, in a corner store.
"The victims commented, because, since Battle is quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and you know, hoped to be that tall someday," Deenihan said. "And unfortunately, obviously we'll never see the full growth of these poor children."
As the three teens walked home, two of them were shot multiple times in the alley. Police said they recovered 9 shell casings from the scene.

LOL...Sarcasm of sarcasm of sarcasm...where does it end?
With sarcasm of course.
He said sarcastically.
Me either, I think its teens being teens. They said something to him, he felt 'dissed' and killed them both.
I had teens say 'things' to me too. But I don't gun them all down. But its life livin in da hood.
LOL
So how tall is he?
And you wonder why they hate cops.
The shooter is effed up out of his mind on drugs. Has no idea what planet he's even on. Can barely walk or stand straight.
Those looking for some story or logic beyond that are wasting their time. Bath salts or PCP crazy.
