The Chicago Sun-Times reports the one fatality occurred Friday at 5:25 p.m., when a man “in a vehicle in the 5300 block of West Van Buren Street” was shot to death.
Other acts of violence, such as carjackings, are also raging in Chicago.
In fact, getting out of one’s car in Chicago to pump gas has become so dangerous that city alderman Stephanie Coleman has launched “Operation Safe Pump” in an attempt to provide an hour a day in which security patrols certain gas stations.
The move was just the latest attempt to stem the violence and unrest which has now come to characterize the city.
