A Chicago shooting left a man with special needs critically hurt when dozens of shots were fired as he waited for a bus in Back of the Yards.
Chicago police are looking for suspects after a 21-year-old man with special needs was shot on Chicago's Southwest Side Wednesday morning while waiting for a bus.
"We were out here waiting for the bus. Apparently three assailants came from that corner over there," said Philip Rega Jr. "These offenders likely thought that the victims were rival gang members," CPD Cmdr. Don Jerome said. "It is important to note that none of the family involved - the father, nor the 15-year-old, nor the 21-year-old victim - have any gang affiliation whatsoever."
CPD data show that in 2022, there were 93 shootings and homicides in the New City Community Area, which includes Back of the Yards.But that's a 66% increase from 2019, when there were 56 shootings and homicides, and a 35% increase from 2018, when there were 69.
