Chicago group with 'machine guns' open fire, killing 14-year-old and wounding 3
[NYPOST] Chilling video captures the moment a group of criminals armed with makeshift machine guns opens fire on a crowd in Chicago, killing a 14-year-old boy and wounding three other people.

The four armed suspects — including at least one possibly 16 — are seen sneaking across an empty lot Wednesday night before jumping out from behind a building and firing off multiple rounds down the street, then running off, according to the surveillance footage obtained by CWB Chicago.

The barrage of gunfire killed 14-year-old Pierre Johnson and critically wounded two young men, ages 18 and 19. A 21-year-old woman also was shot in the hand.

The 18-year-old was shot in his back, while the 19-year-old suffered wounds to his chest and leg. None of those injured was identified.

Police said one of the possible gunmen, a 16-year-old boy, opened fire on cops when they responded and was taken into custody after the deadly shooting on South Wells Avenue around 8:20 p.m., the outlet said.

The teen, who has not been identified, was charged with six counts of attempted first-degree murder of peace officers, three counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm toward an occupied vehicle and unlawful use of a weapon by a person under 21, according to cops.

#2 note that the charges against the 16 year old do not include 'illegal possession of a firearm'

I think this is because Chicago politicos decided that enforcing 'illegal possession' laws was racist as a disparate number of blacks would be charged and since illegal possession does not always end in violence, just let it go.
