15 Shot

Almost a year ago, 14 persons got shot at a Halloween party in 011.

010, which shares a radio zone with 011, had their own almost a year later:

• At least 15 people were injured, two critically, in a mass shooting at a Halloween party early Sunday morning in North Lawndale, according to Chicago police.

  The attack represented the highest number of victims wounded in a Chicago shooting since March 2021 when 15 people were shot at a party in Park Manor, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

  A man fired into the Halloween party with around 100 attendees inside a building in the 1200 block of South Pulaski Road shortly after 1 a.m., police said. The gunman fled, but officers quickly arrested him nearby with help from partygoers and found a gun in his possession. He has not yet been charged, police said.

Partygoers helped ID the shooter? We're certainly living in strange times!

The Slum Times had this quote from a Department member:

• Glen Brooks, the director of community policing for the Chicago Police Department, said the entire neighborhood will need to heal from the “trauma” of the shooting.

Hey, um....Glen? Hate to break it to ya buddy....but North Lawndale (along with Garfield Park and Austin) has been in a constant state of "trauma" for....fifty or sixty years? The area has led the city in homicides for at least ten years. You might want to brush up on Chicago history before making a stupid comment like that. The media might not notice it, but every copper with the slightest bit of historical knowledge does.
