2am and I heard this on Swedish Radio.. we are world famous for our shootings.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/20/us-usa-chicago-shooting-idUSBRE98J03Q20130920
(Reuters) - Several people were shot in a park on Chicago's South Side Thursday night, police said.
Police could not immediately confirm a report on a Chicago Tribune blog that as many as 12 people had been shot, including a 3-year-old child.
Chicago has been torn by gun violence in recent years, racking up more than 500 murders in 2012, according to a report this week by the FBI.
By comparison, New York City, which has a population three times the size of Chicago, recorded 419 murders in 2012, the FBI said.
Chicago police officer Amina Greer told Reuters the shootings occurred at about 10:15 p.m. local time. There were no immediate reports of fatalities, Greer said, and no one was in custody.
The Tribune blog reported that the shootings appeared to have taken place at a basketball court. Injured people, the newspaper said, were being carried out of the park on stretchers.

McCain.
Not Romney.
If McCain had been elected, Rahm never would have been chief of staff.
Hence, Obama couldn't have gotten him the job as the mayor of Chicago....only to ignore the massive crime problems there.
If you're going to be an ass, at least be an accurate ass.

Too bad Mitt didn't get elected, because what we should be saying is, "Don't worry, ROM's got this." And then he would use his Mormon superpowers to fight crime on the streets of Chicago, and shootings would go down by 47%, and Obamacare would be defunded and the economy in tip-top shape.
