The was looting and gunfire in the Windy City as police clashed with rioters early Monday morning sparked by a police-involved shooting Sunday afternoon that wounded a young suspect.
According to Fox32, the shooting occurred in the city’s Englewood neighborhood. A crowd emerged that faced off against the police and eventually began chucking things at the officers. A police spokesperson told the Chicago Tribune that someone spread the false rumor that it was a child who was hit. The truth is more like it was a late teen or person in their early twenties who was the suspect.
An officer told Fox32 that an officer sustained a shoulder injury in the confrontation and one of the police cars had its windows broken. The tension continued on into the night.
It began when police responded to a report about a man with a handgun. They chased the suspect who, they said, turned and fired at the pursuing officers who then returned fire. The suspect's condition is unknown and a weapon was found at the scene.
To the discomfit of Chicago's useless mayor, Lori Lightfoot, President Trump recently announced he was sending federal agents to Chicago, to help local authorities fight such crime as part of an operation that started last year. Instead of welcoming the needed help, she wrote a letter to the White House that stated, “We need you, as President, to take a leadership role in enacting meaningful and common-sense gun legislation, which you so far have refused to do.”

Overnight, the situation grew worse and eventually led to a citywide riot that included the posh stores at the Magnificent Mile which were looted in honor of the victim who shot at police and got a response in kind.
Andy Ngo, the conservative journalist, took to Twitter to say “BLM-inspired rioting and looting is happening in Chicago tonight.” He wrote that police “look completely overwhelmed.”
Another journalist, CBS Chicago new anchor, Ryan Baker, tweeted: “Absolute chaos in downtown Chicago with more overnight looting and vandalism in the Loop. Appears to be coordinated effort with minimal police presence.”
Chicago had another typically violent weekend with 35 shot and three fatalities, making it more dangerous than Afghanistan on a cool day. In fact, since the start of the year until the end of July, there were 440 homicides and 2,240 people shot.

Never let a perpetual shootout go to waste.
