They're Shooting Bicyclists Now?

Well, it was after midnight, so there's that:

• A man died after being shot while riding a bicycle near Grant Park in the Loop early Tuesday morning, according to Chicago police.

  Officers responded to a report of a person shot in the 300 block of East Jackson Boulevard around 12:15 a.m.

  Police said a 27-year-old man was riding a bicycle on the sidewalk when he heard gunfire and felt pain. He had been struck in the upper leg.

  He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition and later died, CPD reported.

Sounds like a femoral artery hit. 

As of this writing, no one knows who the dead guy is, if he was targeted or just happened to catch a bullet in Conehead's "Crime is Down" camera infested downtown.
