CHICAGO — Two teenagers were shot Saturday night as hundreds of people descended on the Loop, jumping on vehicles, getting into fights, and overwhelming Chicago police resources for the third consecutive night.

The victims, boys ages 16 and 17, were standing in the crowd on Washington Street near Michigan Avenue when someone fired shots at 9:05 p.m., according to a CPD statement. The younger boy was shot in the arm, and the other boy was shot in the left leg. Chicago Fire Department ambulances transported them to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition, CPD said.

Saturday’s crowd, which formed after invitations to attend circulated on social media, began to go out of control around 7:30 p.m. as police said about 200 young people were fighting and jumping on cars near the intersection of Washington and Wabash. Video shows another car being jumped on in the area around the same time:

Another video shared on Twitter includes a compilation of incidents from the area. People are seen climbing a CTA bus, fighting, and running through the streets after a loud “bang” is heard:

Around 8:50 p.m., officers radioed that they came upon two robbery victims who were attacked during the incident. The pair was transported to Insight Hospital for treatment. A CPD spokesperson said further details were not available on Sunday morning because the case report had not been finalized.

Chicago police made several arrests throughout the incident, but the exact number of people taken into custody is not known. According to CPD radio transmissions, officers were taking detained persons to the Wentworth (2nd) District because the local district’s station could not handle them.

Fox32 announced that it pulled its news crews out of the area after they heard shots fired near the intersection of Michigan and Madison.

The station also reported that “a woman whose car was smashed by people jumping on the windshield said her husband was beaten as he sat in the driver’s seat. He’s been taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.” Chicago police officers escorted tourists and others to their cars in Millennium Park garage, the station said.

CTA limited stops in the Loop for Brown, Green, Pink, and Orange Line trains for about two hours late Saturday due to the incident. Regular service resumed shortly before midnight.

No public statements have been made about the incidents by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson, or the Chicago Police Department.

On Friday evening, a 14-year-old boy was shot as a social media-fueled crowd formed at 31st Street Beach. Hundreds of people traveled to the lakefront area, but the situation devolved as night fell.

Video tweeted by @ChicagoCritter showed Friday’s crowd jumping on a car in the traffic lanes of a nearby street before the vehicle caught on fire.

“Save the excuses & rationalization,” Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) tweeted Saturday morning. “Unless you want this to be the norm in Chicago, hold them & their parents accountable.”

But State Sen. Robert Peters (13th) fired back at Lopez: “The main thing about a certain politician tweeting obsessively about Black children on a Friday night is how lonely and sad that must be. Go see a movie. Have a nice dinner. Meet up with friends. But for the love of God stop being a weirdo every time it gets warm out here.”

BD comment: Uh, dude, the whole point is, he CAN'T go see a movie or go to dinner because the jogger American community has made that impossible to safely do. Police are escorting tourists, like troops trying to evac civilians from a war zone.

“Just doom scrolling about Black children and snitch tagging media late at night seems unbearably depressing. Like it was a nice spring week and they’re expecting snow on Monday. Chill,” Peters advised.

On Thursday evening, more than 100 young people spontaneously gathered in Millennium Park until a fight broke out, prompting police to break it up. No arrests were made, but a 16-year-old girl was treated for a head injury.

LOL! Chicago serial criminal and carjacker flees outside of the protection zone of Cook County's Soros D.A. Caught in another county. Brags he'll be out the next day. Sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Lesson: stay in your criminal protection zone area, stay out of the suburbs!

Well the people voted in this worthless dems so I have no sympathy for them.

[SnikPlosskin]

This will only get worse. The mass shootings, mob violence, rioting, violent crime are all signs of a civilization in decline. Better get ready.

[GTOguy]

Feral needs to be publicly executed.

[MadInNc]

Why Walmart left …. Annual looting!

Sadly true.

Constant state of fear pron from media and politicians cause most of this..
And, lets be honest, its only one race of people that is doing this.

No fear of repercussion or prosecution. All because of the left.

Start dropping a few of these thugs and this would stop.

[Vette40th]

Chicago could, as many other crime ridden cities, start dropping them, and not letting Police or citizens have any repercussions'. Now that would bring us back a few years when people were in "check"

[VITE1]

Burn baby burn. The people of Chicago have gotten the society they have voted for over the decade's.

Lay back and enjoy what you created.

Look no further than NYC Soros purchased Bragg. Not only is he harassing Trump, recall he arrested a bodega worker who dared to protect himself from a guy literally attacking him. Recall also he arrested a garage parking attendant who had the audacity to struggle with a criminal who had JUST got done shooting the garage worker. Garage worker wrestles gun away from attacker, shoots attacker and.....Soros DA charges the victim with not only the shooting, but illegal gun possession. This is why you dare not fight back in leftist controlled areas. The safe play is to not enter those areas, if possible, and to retreat if possible, even if your state is a stand your ground state, like Texas is.


Here in Houston, the taqueria customer who shot an armed robber menacing a whole restaurant full of people is STILL in limbo, even though the armed robbery was literally caught on tape. That guy still hasn't been no-billed by a grand jury, because the point is to cause him to pay exorbitant legal bills and undergo the fear of facing charges, all for saving his fellow customers and the restaurant workers from robbery and potential death. Soros DA Kim Ogg at your service!

Bama too. 4 dead, 28 injured.

A similar incident occurred in downtown Detroit over the weekend. In the past few years, many similar old aged friends expressed an interest of moving back to the city (Detroit) as they saw it as a regrowth area. I laughed and said to prepare their eulogy for me to give at their funereal. Being a retired suburban LEO I always asked them why so many current Detroit LEO's decided not to live in the city. Always got a blank stare in response.

Why anyone would want to live in a large city is beyond me. I could not.
Even Pensacola is to much. Hell, Ft. Walton Beach is too “city” for me.
Sadly Destin is on the same path. A lot or undesirables walking around.
