From the Chicago Sun Times:
Sixteen people were wounded — one fatally — in shootings across the city since Friday evening.
The fatal shooting happened Saturday morning in the West Side Humboldt Park neighborhood.
Ronnie Amos, 42, was found shot in the 3600 block of West Chicago Avenue at 8:54 a.m., authorities said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:26 a.m., according to the medical examiner’s office.
Among the non-fatal shootings, was a teenage boy wounded Friday evening near Rainbow/PUSH headquarters in the Kenwood neighborhood on the South Side, officials said.
The 17-year-old was walking about 7:35 p.m. in the 4900 block of South Drexel Boulevard when a minivan drove up and someone inside fired shots, striking the teen in the back, police said.
PUSH was conducting its annual convention when the shooting happened. http://www.suntimes.com/28371139-761/1-dead-16-injured-in-city-shootings-since-friday-evening.html#.U6_M1pnn-1s
According to Operation PUSH, gun violence is only their most important issue.
But if you go by their news releases, well the gun violence doesn't merit any response, at least from Sept. 2013: http://rainbowpush.org/news
So, it appears the organization that loves to into issues across the Country has no interest in the shootings and killings in their own neighborhood.
Way to go Jesse Jackson. And this clown cars about the civil rights of others? Yeah right.
