The Cook County Medical Examiner's office told a Chicago Sun-Times reporter that no deaths were reported.

Officials said the child and two other victims were in critical condition, according to the Associated Press.

The shootings happened at about 10:15 p.m. at a basketball court in the city's Back of the Yard neighborhood on the South Side, according to the Sun-Times.

A witness, Julian Harris, who said his 3-year-old nephew was wounded in the cheek, told the Sun-Times: "They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house."

People at the scene said two people may have been firing weapons, WBBM reported. No one was in custody, according to the station.
 



Before the Anti-gun nuts get in here, let me say this. It is suspected that this was gang related. People who obtained guns ILLEGALLY, outside the city limits of Chicago, Illinois. All the best intentioned anti-gun laws in the world would not have stopped this situation and the monsters who had the weapons couldn't give a crap about the other people around especially a helpless and harmless three year old boy.

And for the pro gun nuts (of which I am one, but with common sense). All the pro gun laws would not have helped either. Law abiding, legally carrying citizens would have only made this situation worse, and you would have had a "shoot out at the O.K. Corral". Armed self defense works best when you or your family is confronted, because you know who is attempting to harm you, but in crowded situations when you only "think" you know who the shooter is, it is best to duck and cover and screw shooting back, because you have just become a part of the problem and may end up shooting an innocent person. Who by the way is legally carrying and shooting at who they think the perpetrator is, and may end up shooting you, because like you they don't know who the real shooter is.

As i've said countless times, the US is too far gone when it comes to the amount of guns for gun bans to be effective. It took NYC adding not only a gun ban, but a basically illegal stop and frisk campaign to get guns off the streets.

So we as a society should give up all efforts in turning this sick destructive culture around. Is this what you are advocating? Most of the so-called "anti-gun nuts" realized this problem is deeper than gun ownership.
