Interesting Shade of Makeup

Oh wait, that's not makeup:

• A woman was shot in the Loop on Saturday evening as large crowds filled the area to celebrate the start of the holiday season. An individual is being questioned.

  Chicago police officers were maintaining a significant presence in the Loop following the annual Festival of Lights and Friday’s lighting of the city’s official Christmas tree at Millennium Park.

  Shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, some of those officers reported hearing gunfire at the corner of State and Washington. They soon found a 19-year-old woman with a gunshot injury.

  She ran into Macy’s, 111 North State, for safety after being shot in her upper right leg while standing outside the store on Washington Street, officials said. Cops found shell casings at 6 West Washington, on the opposite side of State Street from the store.

And thanks to the reasonable temps, poor staffing, and command staff that doesn't have a clue, the weekend was full of summer-like wilding incidents all over the (formerly) Magnificent Mile.

Oh, and none of the raggedy yutes have school next week. Somehow the CTU turned Thanksgiving four-day weekend into an entire week off, just before the usual three-week Christmas break. 

Did that play into CPD non-planning?
