A 9-year-old boy was killed after being shot a number of times, and a 6-year-old was grazed by a bullet.
The scene took place in Skokie around midnight. Some residents said they heard several rounds of bullets rattling through the neighborhood. “I thought it was firecrackers,” Joel Rolnick said. “All I heard was just a bunch of pops. Pop pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop pop pop.” Police attempted lifesaving measures on the 9-year-old boy when they arrived at the apartment. They said he later died from injuries he suffered in the shooting.The situation was a surprise to neighbors in the area.
“Any loss of life is pretty sad, and it’s pretty uncommon for the area for something like this to unfold, just unfortunate,” Josh Gordon said.“This is my regular walk,” Edward Donlon said. “I think it’s terrible, you know? It’s very sad.”“I mean, the problem is, it is happening so much that you start to, you know, ‘Oh, it’s another one,’” Rolnick said. “Okay, you know, but it tears at the heart. It’s horrible.
