Very scary. I live only a couple of blocks away. I was outside walking my dogs when I saw a swarm of police cars racing to get to the scene. It's not even summer yet! If this is what's happening now, who knows how terrible it will be when the weather gets warmer.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, unfortunately, all signs are pointing to a very violent summer in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteThere has been a lot of police activity in West Rogers Park and Rogers Park, today. A lot of random group fights and assaults.
