Around 9:13 p.m., a citizen spotted Latin King gang members cruising the area around the North Side high school.
Police did not say how the tipster was able to identify the suspects as Latin Kings.
School officials said 100 to 150 students were present at the dance.
Around 9:43 p.m., police cars were stationed at the south end of the school, near Albion Avenue.
Students began to leave the dance around 9:47 p.m.
The school was empty by 10 p.m.
No incidents were reported.
On October 6, a vicious girl fight erupted at Sullivan High School and was captured on tape.
Two teenage sisters, 17 and 18-years-old, were charged in the brutal attack.
See the ABC7 News video of the teen girl fight below.

The neighborhood is full of Latin Kings and has been for over 20 years. They have been at war with black gangs near the Pratt & Clark/Ashland area a few blocks away and several of the gang incidents have been in the news lately.
ReplyDeleteThe videotaped attack at Sullivan by two black sisters (actual sisters) on a freshman Hispanic girl has probably served to heighten tensions. By all accounts, it was not gang related.
Chicago Kid, thank you for reminding me about the girl fight at Sullivan. It completely slipped my mind!
ReplyDeleteCan we deport these Hispanic Gangs please...How many of these scum bags are illegal???
ReplyDeleteMost of the latin kings are citizens, just because they are hispanics doesnt mean they are illegal! If they were illegal, most of them would have been deported by now ...
