#3  the weapon used was an AK-47

So that's why the driver, not Aid, was hit?

#2  My first thought was: What are the Ukrainians doing in Chicago?

Interesting speculation in #1, badanov. "Nothing political, it's just business."

#1  Yesterday's report was that the weapon used in the attack was a submachine gun firing 7.62mm slugs. Another, subsequent report said that the weapon used was an AK-47, going by the spent weapons cartridges.

The cartridges were not armory issued, but were commercially produced ammunition in Hungary.

The trail would suggest this was an organized crime attempted hit.
