The attacks unfolded around 1:14 p.m., local time, in a residential neighborhood in southeast Rockford, which is about 88 miles northeast of Chicago, according to authorities, who noted this was a “multi-jurisdictional crime scene.”
Rockford, Illinois is west of Chicago.
I know a family very well, from there.
Yeah, northeast of Chicago is in Lake Michigan.
It’s in the middle of Lake Michigan?..................
Eighty-eight miles northeast of Chicago is in Lake Michigan. It is about 12 miles SE offshore of Holland, MI. Check out Google Maps.
I am there. Actually, I’m in Loves Park, just North of Rockford. I used to live close to that particular neighborhood.
One of my wife’s friends’ husband was injured by that guy. He’s a hero, he stopped one of the attacks.
58 miles slightly northwest from crime scene to O’hare as the crow flies.
Wouldn’t 88 miles Northeast of Chicago be smack dab in the middle of Lake Michigan?
NE of Chicago would put the neighborhood in Lake Michigan.
I like visiting the garden and spending the day there when I visit family.
“A motive for the attack remains under investigation,”
I am going to assume he is very well known to the local law enforcement already.
My family lived in the Rockford area for 15 years, and in Rockford proper for half of that. We went to St. Mary Oratory (Institute of Christ the King) and I worked at TAN Books.
There is a lot of good about many of the people, and it was affordable. It has been on the edge for decades. Decades of local stupid political decisions were bad enough. I knew that legalized slot machines and recreational pot would push it over the edge. Very, very, very sad.
North west.
Almost to Wisconsin.
