Future Brain Surgeon Ends His Future

Armed assailant meets his end:

• A teenager was killed this afternoon in a police-involved shooting on the South Side in the city's Washington Park neighborhood.
  
  The shooting happened shortly after 1 p.m. on the 5600 block of South State Street, according to police and Fire Media information. The teen was taken in critical condition to Stroger Hospital but was later pronounced dead, according to a preliminary statement from Police News Affairs.
  
  He was identified as Christian Green, 17, of an unknown address, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

The neighborhood has something to say about it all:

• Hours later, residents gathered at the edge of the red and yellow police tape that had been draped around the vacant lot and nearby intersection.
  
  "I saw everybody running and I was so shocked, I saw them pull their guns out and start shooting," said Antoine Mills, who had just stopped at the liquor store when he saw the chase. "It's like the Wild West."
  
  Louise Sanders, who lives across the street from the shooting, said she ran inside for cover when she heard the shots.
  
  "There's gunshots all night and all day here," Sanders said. "It never stops. It never quits."

Well, it seems the police were in the right area. And it certainly quit this individual from shooting up the hood.

Good job Officers.
