Wilding Season Already?

We barely got the Valentine's Day decorations down:

• A 14-year-old boy was shot Monday night after a gathering of teenagers turned violent in the Loop.

  The Chicago Police Department had already deployed a unit of officers to the area in anticipation of the gathering when a 911 caller reported teenagers fighting near Washington and Madison streets around 8:35 p.m. Officers responding to that call reported shots fired about three minutes later.

  Police quickly located the victim, a 14-year-old boy, at the corner of Washington and Wabash. According to CPD, the boy was standing in the first block of East Washington Street when someone opened fire, striking him in the left foot. Officers recovered two shell casings at the scene. The boy was transported to Lurie Children’s Hospital in fair condition.

  CPD did not release a description of the suspected gunman, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the shooting.

It seems to come earlier and earlier every year.
