Chicago: 7 shot at South Side coin laundry
Seven people have been shot tonight including a 14-year-old at a coin laundry in the South Chicago neighborhood, authorities said.
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said an EMS Plan I, which automatically sends at least five ambulances to the scene, was called about 8:20 p.m. for a shooting in the 7900 block of South Marquette Avenue.
Many of the victims were "laid out" on the floor of the coin laundry in the 2600 block of East 79th Street, said Langford. The laundry's glass window was shattered and police are running around trying to interview people, said Langford.

will be replaced by a gun store and everything will be fine...
We need to blame ANYTHING ELSE.
These things happen, nothing to see here.
Even though this is getting no attention because the wounded are poor (and most likely black) it deserves a kick.
