Blacks Shoot Up Funeral in Chicago—14 Wounded

CHICAGO (AP) — Fourteen people were injured [sic], one person was in custody and additional suspects were being sought after gunfire erupted [sic] outside a funeral home on Chicago’s South Side where at least one squad car was present, police officials said Tuesday.

First Deputy Superintendent Eric Carter said mourners outside a funeral home were fired upon from a passing SUV. Carter says several targets of the shooting returned fire. The SUV later crashed and the occupants fled in several directions. One person of interest [sic] has been taken into custody. Carter says all the victims were adults.

The victims were taken by the Chicago Fire Department to nearby hospitals in serious condition, said spokesman Larry Langford.

Arnita Geder and Kenneth Hughes said they heard gunshots while in their home watching television, adding that they came outside to find bodies that were shot up and “laying everywhere.”

“We thought it was a war out here,” Geder told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s ridiculous all the shooting that’s going on out here, it really has to stop.”

Chris Rock sums up the media in one short bit: "Black people say it's the media making us look bad...Shit, when I go to the ATM at night, I don't look around for the media, I'm looking (insert n word here).

My same exact thought. Absolutely.
