US EditionTeen boy shot near Temple University campus in broad daylight
- On Friday night in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, large groups of teenagers gathered, resulting in a 15-year-old boy being shot in the leg near North City Front Plaza Drive around 9:40 p.m.
- The incident occurred during the last week of Spring Break for Chicago students and followed a town hall meeting addressing safety and gun violence, highlighting ongoing concerns about public safety and gun control in the city.
- Hundreds of teenagers congregated in the area for nearly four hours, blocking traffic, and police found the 15-year-old victim with a graze wound; at least 12 people were arrested, including several minors, though no arrests were made immediately following the shooting.
- Mayor Brandon Johnson addressed the violence, stating, "reckless and dangerous behavior that was exhibited last night, no one wants to see that and we're not going to tolerate it," and that those responsible would be held accountable, while Alderman Hopkins noted, "They were blocking traffic" and "At least six were taken into custody immediately, and that had a quelling effect."
- The 15-year-old was taken to Lurie Children's Hospital and listed in good condition, while city officials call for community collaboration to create safe spaces and opportunities for young people, and some city council members propose changing the curfew for minors to 8 p.m., a measure opposed by Mayor Johnson who believes enforcing the current curfew is sufficient.
