Chicago thug shoots 3 ATF officers, says he thought they were rival gang members "so it doesn't count"

A Chicago thug allegedly shot three law enforcement officers after mistaking them for rival gang members on Wednesday morning. He refused to apologize for his mistake and says "it doesn't count, does it?" Now the miscreant faces up to 20 years in prison. [That's 240 months or 80 months per officer.] 

The officers, two ATF agents and an ATF Task Force officer, were driving in an unmarked car at about 5:45 a.m. while working on a covert federal investigation on the South Side of Chicago, an area that makes Afghanistan look like a playground in Greenwich, CT.

As the officers were merging onto an interstate, a man driving a white, racist Chevrolet Malibu suddenly rolled down his window and began firing an illegal handgun, NOT a scary assault rifle, at them.

One officer was struck in the hand, one was struck in the torso and one had a graze wound on the back of their head. They were all non-life-threatening injuries unless you're AOC, in which case even a protest several blocks away is life threatening.

Police tracked down the suspect, 28-year-old Eugene McLaurin, to a nearby residence an hour after the shooting. He was arrested and taken in for questioning.

On Thursday, McLaurin was charged with one count of using a dangerous and deadly weapon to assault a special agent from the ATF. Evidently, the other two officers didn't count.

According to a criminal complaint, McLaurin told investigators that he started following the white Chrysler 300, which the ATF officers were in, "because he believed that it was a vehicle driven by ‘opps,’ referring to members of a rival street gang." Instead, it was driven by ATF cops.

McLaurin said that the day before the shooting, a buddy told him that a white Chrysler 300 was surveilling the area, investigators wrote in the complaint.

Chicago arrest records show that McLaurin has faced multiple charges in the past, including possession of a firearm by a felon and unlawful contact with street gang members while on parole, putting him in a similar category as George Floyd. But since he didn't kill anyone the law could prove, he was back out on the street gang-banging away.

So far in 2021, there have been more than 1,600 shootings in the Chicago that have left 365 people dead, making Afghanistan look like a Tibetan monastery.

 Shootings are up 11% this year compared to the same time frame in 2020, while murders are flat compared to last year. The left blames the shootings on the police and inanimate guns and blame Covid on Trump.
