NPR On-Views Gunfire

This is amusing. NPR was doing another one of those feel-good stories they're famous for, this time on how to fix-up Englewood. No word if bulldozers or carpet bombing was mentioned, but during the interview...:

• An NPR interview in Chicago included an all-too-real example of the city's violence when a burst of gunfire erupted down the street from where NPR's David Schaper was conducting an interview Wednesday. He had been speaking to a neighborhood activist when a gunman opened fire nearby.
  
  David was reporting a story on efforts to reclaim and repurpose community eyesores when the shots were fired. The radio story that aired on today's is jarring, as a talk about community engagement is suddenly overcome by shots that rang out shortly after kids had gotten out of school.

The reporter's description is one of shocked disbelief:

• "About 30 or 40 yards away, a man is standing outside a car firing a large semi-automatic rifle at a target around the corner we cannot see.
  
  "Asiaha pushes the little girl indoors and some people duck down and scurry, while some of us just watch in bewilderment — while the shooter gets back into his car and drives down the street right in our direction."

Go to this link here and listen to the interview. The gunfire starts just after the 1:00 minute mark. No word if this rifle might have been one of those that disappeared from the train yard recently.
