#2 about that 13 yr old. I'm sure he was just turning his life around....

A 13-year-old boy was killed and six others were wounded in a drive-by shooting Friday evening in the West Side East Garfield Park neighborhood, according to fire authorities.

[...] One person was dead at the scene, according to a Chicago Fire Department spokesman. Relatives identified the fatally shot victim as Samuel Walker, 13.

Walker’s aunt, Maribell Ruiz, says the teen would have been 14 next month. She described him as a studious teen and called his death senseless.

Studious? He was in summer school, which kind of belies an "un-studious-ness" about this supposed scholar.

And at the advanced age of 13, he already had 5 arrests, 3 of them for felonies. PCS, PCS with Intent, PCS/Manufacturing along with misdemeanors for Battery and Assault.....this kid was obviously a dope dealer and most likely the intended target along with one or more of his hooligan friends.

Far from being a "senseless" death, this one makes perfect sense to the individuals who want that corner.

#3 The 3-year-old was shot about 10:15 p.m.

Just getting back from the shore, I suppose.
