A 6-year-old girl was fatally wounded in a shooting in the Little Village neighborhood this afternoon, one of four people injured in separate shootings throughout the city in less than an hour today.
Just before 4 p.m., a victim was reported shot in the Little Village neighborhood and taken in serious-to-critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, according to fire media information.
The girl, age 6, was shot in the abdomen and hospitalized in critical condition following the attack in the 3100 block of South Springfield Avenue, according to Police News Affairs. Details were not immediately available, but the Cook County medical examiner's office said the girl shot on Springfield Avenue had died at Mount Sinai.
The article goes on to say that member of the latin kings are suspected and two are in custody.
We assume that we'll be "declaring war" on the latin kings in short order, completely disregarding the fact that we're engaged in at least two other wars of "obliteration" and haven't a snowball's chance in hell of making an impact on any of the three ongoing conflicts while Englewood racks up 4 shootings a night, Austin pitches in with two or more and Fillmore contributes a steady diet of mayhem to the cause.
The other shootings were in Gage Park.
And again, it's only March? Holy crap.
