Cops & Robbers is Dangerous
A visit to his grandfather’s house turned into a possible life-threatening situation for a 6-year-old Sunday morning in the Morgan Park neighborhood.
Marshown Means was allegedly playing “cops and robbers” when his 13-year-old uncle accidentally shot him in his chest in the home in the 1700 block of West Steuben, according to an adult uncle, Jerome Triplett.
The shooting happened about 9:55 a.m., said police, who would not provide details of the shooting.
The two boys were playing when they found a gun owned by the grandfather and it went off, said Triplett who was told about the shooting by the victim’s mother.
- unsupervised kids
- find an unsecured loaded weapon
- it goes off?
Hopefully, the child suffers no long term ill effects, but there are lessons here to be learned by all participants, not the least of which is the obvious anti-gun bias of the writer.

Does Perjury Trap Patrick Fitzgerald ever go after corrupt DemocRAT thieves? He has no trouble fucking the police, but when it comes to investigating the corrupt scum DemocRAT politicians he is fishing without a hook.
How about the robbers stop robbin?
Channel 7 showed a pic of 6yr old throwing up gang signs
No offense SCC, but after reading that, my head is spinning.
Did anyone see the channel 7 news report on this?
The kid's hands were blurred in the picture shown of him, since he was flashing a gang sign.
Looks like some great parenting was going on.
All guns should be secured and locked away. If you can't do this then don't have a weapon in your home. Little kids, and some big kids, think these weapons are toys. The little six year old almost died. A little common sense goes a long way.
I heard they wanted it to be true to life as it is in chicago. The "robber" in this case was shot by the "cop". The way they played it out is that the robber didnt have no gun, put up his hands and said i suurreennder! The polices, I mean the cop shot him down like a dog! I mean discharged his firearm striking the robber in the chest.. Then out of nowhere before the ambulance even got there somehow even though the robber was only 6 years old momma came runnin into the living room waiving around an 8th grade graduation photo of the robber... weird

Hurry and look at this video before Channel7 removes the photo of the 6yr-old shooting victim/ future "honor student". The photo that the family gave to the news shows the kid flashing gang signs. But, Ch7 tried to hide it by blurring the kid's hands.
I'm sure it won't be the last time we hear about someone from this family being involved in a shooting.
Did anyone catch the news with the picture of the gunshot victim with the hands blurred out, apparently looks like flashing gang signals, nice.
The Triplett family are a bunch of assholes to begin with. It's sad that a small child has to suffer for the generational stupidity of that family.
If that's the Triplett family I'm thinking of...they're all shitheads!
13 Y O. I call bullshit. Lil bastard rifled through gramps shit and was playing with it. He knew better the minute he found it. Unless he's a retard he also knew it was a gun not a toy. 13 give me a break. The family is covering up for the stupidity of the kid. Now jr is being taught that he is not to blame and it's someone else's fault when he fucks up. Must be the bad gun maker or every law abiding citizen that wants to own a gun that made it possible for him to find a gun. Yeah blame me And yes it's sad that he accidentally shot his brother while acting like an asshole playing with his gramps gun that he went out of his way to look for shit where he had no buisness looking.
Sorry uncle not brother
Just wondering, was the 13 year old that fired the weapon the cop, or the robber? Sad that a young child was hurt because of this.
Seriously? No, seriously? The only photo the family could provide of their dear, darling, beloved six year old child is one where HE'S THROWING GANG SIGNS? Seriously?
If there are kids in a house guns need to be locked up. Kids do stupid shit.
You may also want to consider locking guns up if your wife has any anger issues.
I know of a guy who banged his then fiance's 19 year old niece a few weeks before the wedding.
A decade later wifey found out after the niece went through AA.
He was lucky not to have gotten shot.
Some woman are just not the forgiving types.
Happens in Edison Park all the time. NOT! just typically usuall!!
A 13 year old shot his 6 year old nephew. It was grandpa's gun. How the hell old is grandpa - 25?
They were not playing cops and robbers. They were playing "rip and run". One kid protecting the stash, the other trying to rip him off.

Aw man, I'm just glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when I read that. Now that's funny, I don't care who you are....
So the 13 year old uncle found the 30 year old grandfathers illegally owned gun and the 6 year old gang recruit was injured in a training accident.
And his momma says..................
he always be showin my son guns
unreal
And I'm just guessing here but Grampa was about thirty-five years old?
---not a cop
According to news reports this morning the nephew said it wasn't no game of cops and robbers, the uncle was trying to kill him and made a statement to that effect.
Those two were no virgins, they knew exactly what the real deal is.
Any relationship to Anthony Triplets, the Comcast killer from 2006?
Since the 13 year old was playing the cop it's only a matter of tIme until the family files suit against CPD.
Judging by the gang signs I take it the six year old was the robber?
DCFS should take away children from known gang parents. By throwing up the gang sign, that child is now endangering himself to a dangerous lifestyle. No money to the parents for link, etc. Mom should also get jail time for having an illegal gun in the house.
Seriously? No, seriously? The only photo the family could provide of their dear, darling, beloved six year old child is one where HE'S THROWING GANG SIGNS? Seriously?

uh, yep.
dead bang seriously.
"marshown"--- never heard of that one--- almost as bad as quintefelianecia--- I think marshown's days of playing cops and robbers are over--- hopefully if they decide to play cowboys and indians grandpa locks up his bow and arrows....
triplett all pos and this kid oh well a future criminal already shot!
Here is the real issue, why did the TV news pixilate( blur) the gang sign.I see a lawsuit being filed by the ACLU for damaging the child's future promotion into gang hierarchy by not showing his gang affiliation.It is this type of manipulation of news content by the media,that continues to hurt the minority community.
If you put two assholes and a gun into a room, one of the assholes is going to get shot.
Time to head to work to drive in circles in the deployment box zone. Stop the insanity
unsupervised kids
find an unsecured loaded weapon
it goes off
Doesn't that describe 90% of the neighborhoods south of 26th and West of Western and North of Irving Park?
That is a magic gun, don't ya know? Guns always go off by themselves. That's why they're dangerous. Nobody has to pull the trigger or anything. They just go off. Boom. Boom.
All guns should be secured and locked away. If you can't do this then don't have a weapon in your home. Little kids, and some big kids, think these weapons are toys. The little six year old almost died. A little common sense goes a long way.

Good Lord, you are an idiot. There is no common sense where ghetto rats are concerned. You either.

Gang signals? Signals? Where are you from?
If there are kids in a house guns need to be locked up. Kids do stupid shit.
You may also want to consider locking guns up if your wife has any anger issues.
