Nice Shots?
This seems like a very....specific....message being sent:
An overwhelming display of firepower by five gunmen who killed a man on a River North street corner on Wednesday morning was a “gang-on-gang targeted ‘hit’ and not a random act,” according to the local alderman, who said the victim had been targeted in gang shootings before.
Another man who was in the area, identified as a homeless man who frequents the neighborhood by a resident who spoke with CWB Chicago, is recovering after a bullet intended for the decedent struck him in the foot.
At about 3:20 a.m., five men pulled up to the corner of State and Grand in a newer Honda Accord and hopped out, each masked and armed with either a rifle or a pistol, according to an officer who reviewed surveillance video. All five immediately began shooting at their intended target, a 30-year-old multi-time convicted felon who has not only been convicted of gun possession multiple times, but has also been questioned in connection with at least one murder, according to a law enforcement source. Dozens of shots were fired and police struggled to keep shell casings lying on an office building plaza from blowing away in the wind.
We don't know whether to lament the continued downtown crime trends or be amazed that the shooters only managed to wing one innocent bystander.
Seems like they might have practiced this one.
Who has the details about the dead guy - was it as deserved as the aldercreature is implying?

Time to bring back SDI. It was passive but it worked. Gold coast VRI
Bring it back and put the cops on the spots. Grand and state was one of my favorite spots.
Downtown has been destroyed. The gangs have realized it too.
'Targeted Hit' means 'Public Service Homicide'....just sayin'

9mm is the flavor they savor.
Sounds like community policing.
This would not have happened if Seiser was still working 1834. Seiser runs it!!!
hope the offenders bought their ammo in crook county so that extra tax on it will help provide more anti-gun campaigns
Maybe JB Pritzker (and his security detail) should change the route of his morning propaganda walks a few blocks to the west? I remember a few months ago when JB stated "If you want to terrorize people you have to go through me." A tough-as-nails politician like that surely wouldn't be afraid of a few "teens" in ski masks?
What a crap hole they turned that area into. I walked once from the kids place to the office through there. Pre scamdemic it looked like it had a chance.
Until they pulverize a few IMPORTANT citizens, things won’t change. You regular Joes or Janes just don’t count high enough on the scale to make any changes to these godfrorsaken inane policies of BJ and JP which literally ALLOW the killing/maiming every single day to continue. 919 shot, 223 homicides.
One sure way to end the violence bring back Sgt Dowling
if streets were crowded that could have been 20 or more dead. That victim would've been safer if in prison. One murder,one less thug thanks to safety act.
Thanks to Mayor Lorri Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson. Both did more harm than good to the city.
The Democrat’s only known one thing, that is tax us to death!
I would love to see that.
They ruin where the live for free, now they want to ruin the place that’s pay for their normal lifestyles.
The community policing.Defund!
The former Rock Bottom brewery location has literally hit Rock Bottom in Brandon’s bizarro world.
Really? On the pretty north side?
As long as its shithead on shithead "gun violence " who cares, let them slaughter each other.
At about 3:20 a.m., Only people out at that time are drunks gang bangers and homeless, that why the lack of carnage.
All those cameras and not one video posted...Wonder how many search warrants needed for day light murders.
They should change the acronym to BNC,(buy new car) or WC (who cares).
Every place in this City is turning to crap and the offenders know it. The asswipes take pleasure in fucking up all that was nice.
Ballistic panel front and back
Ahhhh……State Street that Great Street! Who’d have ever thought that 71st and State would be safer than that Grand Avenue location.
shut up with that idiot already.
Why do can sit there and ignore crime
Yeah right. Homicides were at their highest during that time because officers were to busy hiding and being cowards.
Chalk this killing off as a as a positive outcome of the SAFE-T act.
the shooters only managed to wing one innocent bystander...
At 3:20 AM, the streets are deserted. One wonders what the victim was doing outside at that hour.
Just A Civilian (who also wonders how the perps knew he would be there)
Shitbird on shitbird. Really. Who gives a flying fuck. Kill. Don’t shoot in foot. Who pays the horspital bills? We taxpayers. Fuck the shitbirds! And they antees n momma, too.
MSM reported 110 shell casings. What is the real number?
midnight basketball would have prevented all of this. The out going gym instructor would have instructed them on how to properly do push ups, no need for real guns.
I haven't been downtown in decades! For what???
As we are close to the November election, can the dead guy have a "pinch hitter" pull a Democrat ballot on his behalf and vote in the election. Asking for my Somali friend at the local "Learing Center". Oh, oh he also wanted to know if he could borrow his EBT card too.
OT: “Officers do have a job that they wake up to every day to serve and protect,” [his cousin] says. “However, sometimes I feel like they can do a better job in serving and analyzing things before making irrational decisions like this situation here where a young child, a young boy, lost his life.”
“…a young child, a young boy…”?? This dumbass was 35 years old and had already been given a chance in life by not dying when he was shot for the same crime at the same location three years ago. The only “irrational decision” was the offender trying this failed action a sceond time.
• Man killed in Summerville deputy shooting also shot by deputies at same place in 2023

“Victim’s cousin shares thoughts on the shooting”
He's not a victim. He's the OFFENDER.
Not called "being cowards," it's called Survival..
And they sent the right "hit crew," by the numbers on those casing markers..
I'll bet the shit in his pants would resemble what the Brookfield Zoo people clean up in the elephant exhibit..
