A 3-year-old boy who was among 13 people wounded in a late-night attack on a southwest Chicago park was alert when he arrived at the hospital and was apparently doing well, his family and friends said early Friday.

Glad to see all those firearm regulations are working out well.....




Any bets it was an AR15?[Rant1]

[merl]

so this is added to the list of "mass shootings in america" right?

[electronman1729]

I thought it was very hard to own a gun in Chicago

[ZERO THEORY]

Convenient timing.

[Fromk]

Convenient timing.

Not really. This one just happened to make national news. Probably because a 3-year-old was involved.

Can we also talk about how 13 were WOUNDED!? Nice to know they'll be back on the street soon.

Probably because the weapon used was NOT held sideways.

Chicago Tribune article: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-multiple-people-including-3yearold-shot-in-south-side-attack-20130919,0,352520.story

My favorite quotes:

A pick-up game was being played on the park's basketball court in the 1800 block of West 51st Street around 10:15 p.m. when at least one gunman walked up and started firing, apparently with a high-powered gun.
13 people shot, nobody dies.... must've been like, a real high powered assault rifle death machine AR-15!


Police believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the Black P. Stones and Gangster Disciples, a law enforcement source said. It was not known if any of the victims were intended targets.Police said they were questioning several people, but would not say whether any of them were suspects.
Gang crime... typical in Chicago.


"I think it was like an AK," said one neighbor, describing the shooting. "Man, it was a lot of shots. Man, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. A little boy got hit in the face."
...
“Once I opened a beer can, I heard shots,’’ Cabada said. “I opened the fence in the back. They reversed up the alley and then toward Ashland, the car peeled out.’’

“A brown Malibu with tints dipped toward Ashland Avenue. . . A brown Malibu with its lights off was peeling off,’’ Cabada said. “Some young kid said they shot his little brother.

“That was pretty much it, I just seen bodies on the floor, I seen three officers carrying the little boy. I didn’t hear no sounds.’’
Clearly, the Chicago Tribune has interviewed society's intelligencia... [Shake]



"Before Thursday night's shooting, eight children under the age of 8 (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-promo-youngest-victims-20130913,0,4050704.story)had been shot in Chicago over seven weeks."
Jee-zus! Sounds like all that gun control is working!!

13 shot in Chicago isn't a mass shooting--that's a regular day.

[BPTactical]

Well that didn't take long.

The Superintendent of Chicago PD is flapping his yap about banning high cap mags and assault weapons.........he will probably swallow Rham's, Eric's and Barracks batter later this evening......

It's particularly sad that the arrogant and misguided do-gooders will never wake up and realize that disarming the law-abiding citizenry is only making their murder and violent crime rates higher. People are paying with their lives for the dangerous policies of the anti-gun establishment.

[wctriumph]

Since this happened in Chicago and the Chicago gangs are run by the Sinaloa Mexican drug cartel, could these poor innocent persons have been shot with Fast & Furious guns? I bet Holder doesn't want to know!

[flogger]

I can't imagine living in a place like that unarmed. We should consider ourselves blessed (for now).

[james_bond_007]

Probably used some M1 Garands and M1 Carbines.
After all, the carbines can take a 30-rd "banana clip".

Also likely that they acquired them via a trust or corporation.

Glad THOSE holes will soon be plugged .[Sarcasm2]

Little boy got shot in the face with "an AK" and lived? Tell me another one ...

Grazing wound?

Gunman probably loaded it with "cop killer" bullets. 3 year old wasn't a cop = he survived.

Okay, that was little funny. [LOL]

[Aloha_Shooter]

Grazing wound?

C'est possible but even more likely that neither the reporter nor the witnesses have a freaking clue on their firearm identification and just wanted to allude to an AK to make it sound scarier. Hell, I've seen Glocks and even a .22 Mag Grendel fire so fast that any amateur would have sworn they were automatic fire (technically, the Grendel was since the sear had just broken but it wasn't a damned AK).

[UrbanWolf]

They gonna pull off the "All guns used in Chicago are sold by greedy gun owners/sellers from out of state" excuse and push more gun laws.

Cops said they found 7.62mm shell casings (my guess would be 7.62x39 making it an AK pattern rifle). Who knows what they really found as we all know who the Chicago PD takes their orders from.

Or an SKS with a fixed magazine, Ruger Mini 30, CZ 527 bolt action, etc....

It was probably some rusty, beat up Tokarev in 7.62x25.
