Officer Wounded

This sounds like a series of unfortunate circumstances:

• A Chicago police officer and a 16-year-old boy were accidentally shot by the same bullet during a chaotic scene Thursday afternoon in Englewood, according to police officials.

  Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling, who spoke to reporters outside the University of Chicago Medical Center about 4 p.m., said the shooting was an “accident.” Officers were conducting an “investigatory stop” involving a 16-year-old in the 5600 block of South Shields Avenue about 12:30 p.m. when they realized he had a gun in his waistband, according to police.

  When an officer reached to grab the gun, it “inadvertently” went off, with the bullet hitting the teen in the groin and then the officer in the leg, Snelling said. One shell casing was recovered.

It is unknown if the gun was "cocked" while in the waistband of the teen.

It is also unknown if the teen was "decocked" following the discharge of the weapon, which truth be told, would be the best outcome of all since he wouldn't be able to breed the next generation of stupidity.

In any event, the Officer was rapidly transported to the hospital by his partners and should be okay following a stint in physical rehab. 

The teen will likely be released by Crimesha without spending a single day in juvie detention.

The parent(s) will face zero charges or accountability.

Fata$$ will try to pass another series of laws against law abiding gun ownership despite the fact that not a single law abiding citizen was part of this blatant disregard of existing law.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
