Early Saturday morning, a young girl was shot in Chicago’s West Side Austin community.
Around 2:57 a.m., a car drove by an address on the 5100 block of West Crystal Street and fired approximately six shots.
A 14-year-old girl was shot in the back, said police.
Despite the young shooting victim’s injuries, police described the girl’s condition as “good”.
At the time of this report, police were unable to get a description of the shooter’s vehicle, because the victim was “hysterical”.
However, authorities said the girl knows who shot her.

What, no racist comments?
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the ignorant white people???
Come on guys, don't you know the world is waiting for you to regurgitate the opinions of your Klan leaders on this crime blog???
I really like this site for the fact that it is a collection of interesting police blotter stories. The racism part is a little, erm, disappointing. But no need to egg them on. When a 14 year old girl gets shot in the back the last thing I think about is if there is an inferior race. :(
ReplyDeleteBenn, believe it or not, some of these stories are very hard for me to report. Listening to a child crying after she has been shot in the back, is very heartbreaking.
ReplyDeletea 14 year old should be in bed at that time of morning, not hanging on street corners like a call girl.
ReplyDeleteJesus christ.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's obviously her fault for being outside of her house.
Give us your address so we can shoot you when you're outside when we've deemed inappropriate.
Glad to see others are challenging the racist/classist comments that have appeared on this site.
ReplyDeleteI think it's tragic this kid was shot but, I also wonder what she was doing out at that time of the morning. Where are her parents? Don't we have a curfew in this city? Maybe if it were enforced, some of these young people wouldn't be getting shot, raped or beat up. Ever consider that? What the hell is wrong with these kids parents? Why do kids want to endanger their lives and tempt fate?
ReplyDeleteI suppose those of you who don't like people calling it as the see, read and hear it would rather it be sugar coated? What else are people suppose to call it when the facts are right in your face? If no description is given, who do the cops or the citizens look out for? If it's the ghetto thugs committing most of the crimes in this city, what do you expect people to say? I am soooo sick of people using this "politically correct" attitude to act like people aren't fed up with these ghetto thugs. Go ahead, look the other way, sweep it under the carpet and act like it doesn't exist because it isn't "PC". A city out of control is what we get for doing that. The ghetto thugs are what they are and that's not racist.
Benn,
ReplyDeleteYes, Jesus loves us. :)
No, the girl didn't ask for a bullet in her back.
If the area isn't safe, it's up to the parents to enforce the curfew law in their home.
What's Up,
Yes, Blacks killing Blacks is racist, because it affirms what the Klan and others already believe. :(
