Tourist Shot - BB Gun
- A Japanese airline worker was shot in the ankle on the Magnificent Mile over the weekend, possibly by someone using an air gun, according to police and the airline.
He’d spent the evening having dinner and attending the Blues Fest with co-workers and they were walking back to the hotel in the early morning hours of Saturday when it happened, said ANA, All Nippon Airways spokeswoman Nao Gunji.
“He heard something like a dry, light, bang-bang sound,’’ Gunji said. “It sounded like a gunshot but he couldn’t tell...it didn’t sound like real gunfire.’’
Immediately after that he felt pain in his ankle. When he checked it, he saw blood on his ankle, and a hole and some minor damage to his trousers, she said.
And some advice we'll bet they're telling all their employees - and citizens:
- “We urge them to be careful, it’s fine to go out to dinner but maybe not a good idea to stay out too late,’’ Gunji said.
Just the message that keeps Rahm up at night - adult visitors to Chicago can't be out and about after sundown, catching a show, attending a fest, spending money and generating tax revenue because they might get shot - even by a BB gun.

BB gun meet my friend .45 ACP.
BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
FUCK YOU RAHM!
Go slide your narrow ass behind another $25K plate!
That's the only answer you have for this madness, right?
An honorable representative from Chicago's "sister city" in Japan ought to call a press conference, invite Rahm to offer a public apology, then haul off and kick a deep pocket dead in his ass then bow deeply before walking off without saying a word!
Chicago... What a shit-show!
Just admit that such is life in the modern large American City. If you want safety after dark, go to the burbs.
It is the fault of the airline worker. Violence was present in the city before he came here, he should've known. Actually he should consider himself lucky because some citizens get shot with real guns. Welcome to Chicago!
Ho hum
Suspended case.
No pod videos...
Get those tact teams out and about and look for BB guns.
Or could it be unfounded
sometimes vehicles at high speed kick up rocks which could have struck the victim!
Well lets just call that Chiraq lite
Rahm is just glad that this stupid victim spent at least a couple hundred bucks (transportation,drinking, eating, shopping) in his city before he got shot.
The next time you come back mr tourist maybe the criminals will steal your money instead of the city.
Where's the VRI guys? Why not have a VRI detail for downtown?
Hey Anonymous you might want to revisit your high school physics class. Danica Patrick would have to be driving a practice round down the mag mile to kick up a rock with enough velocity to get through fabric and skin.
I have never heard a BB gun do a light bang-gang sound. If there was a BB involved, it was probably a .410.
It's just like the salmon do, they're just coming upstream to breed.
Where did this new multi-part writing style, "he heard something, he felt something, he noticed something" come from?
The poor guy was not undergoing some kind of cognitive therapy session. He got shot.
It's too weird.
2nd bb-gun attack; the most recent incident occurred at
175 N Harbor Drive along E. Randolph ST East of N. Michigan Ave (Northeast Corner of Millennium Park)
Now this tourist gets attacked! where did this tourist get shot by a bb-gun.
Or could it be unfounded
sometimes vehicles at high speed kick up rocks which could have struck the victim!
I liked the rock kicked up story. Dets can add that to thier copy and paste scenarios to unfound the case. He will never know,will be back in Japan.

And, it really depends on which suburb you are talking about. Many are just micro Chicagos with the same problems. assholes are everywhere
Discharging a BB gun in Chicago is illegal. How can this happen!?
From my point of view they should create some more VRI like opportunities. It has nothing to do with the easy money mind you, I want to help rid this city of crime and filth...............at $60 an hour.
Just A Citizen Says: WTF is wrong with the "leaders" of this city? Are they blind? Deaf? DUMB? But actually, what is wrong with the majority of people in this city since they voted these assholes in office. You can't blame the fire for getting HUGE if people keep stoking it. Liberalism REALLY IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!!
OT:
the wilding shop lifting that occurred on stoney probably could have been stopped if the dispatch policy had not been changed. "Theft in progress" does not warrant immediate police response (mcstupid and co)
If a burglary has occurred paper car is to classify it as criminal damage to property
Outlaw BB guns! This is 2014, no one needs BB guns, go watch Christmas story, they will put your eye out. Pass BB gun control NOW. Let the NRA go after that! Hah! A drive by no doubt, outlaw drive by cars too. Make it against the law to shoot a BB gun from an auto. Put no BB gun decals all over. Tattoo the decal on Rahm's face.
Tourists: STAY AWAY OR A PAINFUL BB DEATH AWAITS!
Could be a hate crime .
Rahm & Garry only care about gunshot victims.
This along with the guy stabbed to death in 022, no one cares about.
We deal ONLY with crimes by handgun!
OT - seriously D/C C and Sgt Chris? Are you that dumb to think your not being played by A?
Off again today and two days last week. When the door is open a bit and the lights are on, she's not in. You should check at least twice a day.
BB gun? Small pop heard? Penetrated clothing and hole in skin? Sounds more like .22 cal.
what ever happened to three weeks for sergeant results...what a bunch of liars
Off topic, Why is a LT in 23 getting confidential CR numbers on officer? This LT is great at being a "great guy" but look out. Time will tell. He is not your friend and he is about riding on others clout and then calling the Watchdogs.

OT Looks like a Wilding group hit the Nordstrom on Michigan today. Two reported assaults, one victim hospitalized - neither looked like the perps, if you know what I mean. Reported group of 50 or so, description of suspects was generic and unhelpful to say the least, unless anyone has seen any "teens" roaming about. Reported $2k in merch gone as well. Stupid kids didn't even know to take the expensive stuff. But coming from Englewood I guess they wouldn't know it if they saw it. Officers, stay safe. Tourists and shoppers, stay home!
Perhaps if the powers that be stopped endangering the lives of the police and fire and stopped endangering the pensions of those same people,it would be safe to go downtown at night.

Its the city of chicago. They dont even know what they are doing. Anything is a guess. My guess is september.
That was just a 'dry run' for the thugs slinging lead at the Jazz Fest, Taste of Chicago, et al.
To 10:31am idiot dogs like you are the problem yes we're getting screwed, and the politicians are scum but you are still making upwards up 80k a year plus your VRI overtime so quit all those B.S. Excuses for using your laziness. Real victims are out there plus you should be helping your fellow officers. So you keep telling yourself your only a dog because we didn't get retro and short man power maybe you will believe it.

Cops investigate 2 NW Side home invasions
7:05 p.m. CDT, June 17, 2014
"Police are warning the public on the Northwest Side to be wary following two home invasions this month.
"Most recently, Monday about 1:05 p.m. in the 6300 block of North Lowell Avenue in the city’s Sauganash neighborhood, two or three attackers forced their way into the victims’ home, showed a handgun and searched the house, according to police.
"An earlier similar incident happened June 7 about 9:50 p.m. in the 5800 block of North Jersey Avenue in the Hollywood Park neighborhood. Police believe that the same people are responsible.
"During one invasion, shots were fired and during the other attack, they told the victims they “were the police and they were looking for someone,’’ according to police.
"The three attackers are all described as black males about 5-foot-7, and 150 pounds, they each wore a ski mask or hooded sweatshirt pulled tight police said..."

Bang-Bang goes the b-b?
How about Bang! Bang! the bullet fragment.
Another shooting goes unreported in Rahms Naked City.
ot.... you failed. now go study.
If he would have just opened his eyes to what is going on. Almost like a sneak attack. Some thug zeroed in on him. If you can't be safe on the Mag Mile, where exactly is a safe passage or safe haven for visiting tourists in this city?

At least they did not call them "youths". Sure tried hard to sell this as a unique, isolated, one of a kind incident, didn't they?
The bodies are piling up in 11! Homicide after homicide, this new brass in Filmore has absolutely no clue what they are doing. There's an interesting correlation going on at Harrison&Kedzie, apparently lots of contact cards and ANOVS issued, (instead of locking MFers up) = leading the city in 0110's!!!! It's funny the new brass came in like hard a$$'z & were gonna "clear the corners", and fix da West siiiiiiide,now they realize they r in WAY over their heads!
-signed runnin outta crime scene tape :-)
Ot - Man. Bunch of new sgts from the latest class in the district and it's hard to tell that any of these guys have ever been on the street. Pretty bad so far in 004. Heard it was bad in 007 and 005. Anyone else suffering?
Now he knows how it feels when they shoot Godzilla in his ankles.
It wasn't a BB gun.
It was a meteorite.
So it's a Hospitlization Case.
Question from a Landlubber.
What case report is made when there is a boat vs. boat crash, or boat vs. dock in a Chicago harbor?
Out on the lake or rivers?

No, but here's a word from me....a) there's NO way you make more at D1 just working VRI (perhaps an average of 60 hours a period in court/OT in addition to VRI MIGHT make that obtainable) than a D3 makes, b) Your D1 VRI cash AIN'T pensionable, c) You're working an extra, what, 4 days a month?, d) I get supervisors quarterly checks AND an extra 45 minutes on the clock each day which comes out to about 200 hours a year....which I get to sell back. Do that math, PO VRI and get back to all of us here with this years W2s, Dickbag. Oh yeah, I'm D3 at Step 8. So unless you're pulling about 90-100 VRI days a year, you ain't coming close to what I'm bringing home, laddy.
Consider yourself slightly better educated after this lesson in CPD economics.

I been Sgt for almost ten years and still enjoy the whinning about new Sgts after every new class hits the street. I never needed a Sgt as a Police Officer.

Ask SKI what his duty status was the moment he discovered he had been passed over on the Sgt's list. His answer, if truthful, will give you insight as to what he is all about.

Why does this bistro-with-docking-slips have to be built as a floater? Could have been done on the gutted Northerly Island, and not have to be towed in and moored -- somewhere -- every fall before Edmund Fitzgerald time sets in.

It is getting to be that time here.
Best ones are when somebody flyin out the locks in a cig-boat-clone, double-worked-on dual-Chev-457 stern drive hits a concrete breakwater at 60 per. Chunks of "unsinkable Styrofoam flotation" bobbing all around the hull-down, awash, half-burned hulk like it was going to help anyone.
Usually "death investigation."
Don't do this. Learn your charts and lights. Less 5.5% Alc./Vol., and more navigation, please.
Even a rack full of Raytheon doesn't help someone who A. can't focus B. doesn't care.
So it goes...
sometimes vehicles at high speed kick up rocks which could have struck the victim!
I liked the rock kicked up story. Dets can add that to thier copy and paste scenarios to unfound the case. He will never know,will be back in Japan.
6/17/2014 09:54:00 AM
This was obviously a shooting -- no documentation on the SECOND apparent incident/same/apparent airgun being used N. Michigan -- but I'll tell ya...
Standing near a rubber-paved RR crossing, winter, car goes over it and a rock squirted out between rubber paving and giant rubber SUV tires, got me right between eyes. POW! Right under rim of stop-anything helmet, wouldn't ya know.
Irrelevant to this case, but it can/does happen. Ride a bicycle much, how many times do you hear a "POK!" as a pebble squeezes out from under even a narrow >1" bike tire and chips the door of a parked auto.
City don't sweep the street anymore, well...hit a chunk a concrete fallen off a repaving truck the other day. Thing the size of my head, in a shadow, sun in your eyes. WHACK! Whoa! Maintain. Follow through. Just startin the day.
This s__t happens. Real world can be hazardous. Heads up!
Never did find my shades...jolted right offn my head...
Good for laughs! WHOO! Everyone STAY SAFE they running updownlongside the buildin and there is NO FUN THERE f you wanna see your family again...solid up, steady, call fr back...
God bless all here.
To the unpublished OJ comment:
We weren't about to re-visit one of the most racially charged LAPD incidents for no apparent purpose. We were on the job, too and it wasn't a pleasant time.
Your blanket statement about "all" certain coppers was false on its face as we know plenty who saw the other side.
We appreciate your reading and we aren't going to lambast your comment, but we hope you realized that heavy handed discretion on our part isn't personal.
