- A 21-year-old man playing PlayStation was shot in the back through a first-floor window early Saturday morning on the West Side and died less than two hours later, authorities said.
Devon Greer, of Lansing, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was declared dead at 5:22 a.m. after being shot in the back, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was shot through a west-facing window in a home in the 3800 block of West Augusta Boulevard in the Humboldt Park neighborhood about 3:40 a.m., police said.
Greer, of the 18400 block of Country Street in Lansing, was among four people shot on the West Side since about 7:30 p.m. Friday. Four other people were shot early Saturday morning on the Far South Side.
So now the question becomes was it an unintentional homicide or a hit in the war zone that is the west side. The odds have to be pretty bad for you to catch one while playing video games in the supposed safety of a friend's house, right?
