Teens Among 6 Wounded in Chicago Shooting

HeadlineJun 04, 2014

Six people have been wounded in a shooting at a Chicago laundromat. Two of the victims were teenagers, with one in critical condition. A witness described the scene.

Matthew Gillis: “It sounded like almost like fireworks. And I looked out my bedroom window, and I see some young guys running. I don’t know if they were victims or if they were the perpetrators. But, I mean, it’s kind of sad, because it’s like the little kids can’t really play outside anymore.”

Chicago has grappled with some of the worst gun violence in the country. A recent proposal from Mayor Rahm Emanuel calls for videotaping all gun sales and limiting them to one per month.
