We can expect Feinstein to open her stink hole up again on this one.
Chicago police say two gunmen attacked a crowd on a park basketball court, with at least 13 people injured in the shooting, including three-year-old, their conditions from serious to critical. The gunmen haven’t been taken into custody yet.
Chicago Fire Department officials report the child is in critical condition.
“They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house,” Julian Harris, uncle of the wounded child, said. “They’ve been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It’s what they do.”
A witness at the scene told the Chicago Tribune that three police officers carried the child to an ambulance.
“I didn’t hear any sounds from the child,” the witness said.

The aunt of the boy who was shot told local reporters that her brother was killed on Labor Day at the beginning of September in Chicago, too. It’s her second relative affected by gun violence this month.
Two other victims were also in critical condition, officials say.

A witness told the Chicago Sun-Times that dreadlocked men shot at him from a gray sedan before turning toward Cornell Square Park and firing at other people in the area.
The attack took place about 10:15 pm local time, and fire officials called an Emergency Medical Services Plan II, sending at least 10 ambulances to the scene.
About 60 police officers were also deployed.
There were no immediate reports of fatalities, Chicago police officer Amina Greer told Reuters, and no one is currently in custody in connection with the shooting.
The territory where the shooting took place is cordoned off.
Chicago has been torn by gun violence in recent years, racking up more than 500 murders in 2012, according to a report this week by the FBI.
By comparison, New York City, which has a population three times the size of Chicago, recorded 419 murders in 2012, the FBI said.

13 seems to be the magic number. What next? Here we go again…..
There are many neighborhoods where things like this are likely to erupt, and the people who live there should be armed and ready for it.
Exactly Jolly
No matter where I travel and I do a lot there is always a formidable way of defense within my reach. City or state laws be dammed I will not be a victim.
Gangs and their deeds of shooting people IN A CITY THAT does NOT ALLOW GUNS. The Governement want to take away guns from good people and the bad won’t give them up or law abiding citizens. They need to start jailing gang members. Do this in Detroit and NYC too.

Yes agree Mark. So when are we going to start ” jailing? ” them gang members like the police depts. I am kind of starting to think that these so called gang shootings are – in reality – just a bunch of ” off duty ” cops starting sh*t knowing that it will be blamed on the street gangs, wouldn`t suprise me one bit knowing how the cops are and what they do. The cop are well known for doing things like this.
