CHICAGO (CBS) – Police say a daylight shooting in the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood Friday morning might have been in retaliation for a murder at the same corner.

The Friday morning shooting happened around 9:40 a.m. at 79th Street and Loomis Boulevard. A man ended up hospitalized in fair condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with a gunshot wound to the arm, according to a Gresham District police lieutenant.

Police are investigating its likely connection with the death of a man identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office as Larry Gore, who was fatally shot at the same address about 5 p.m. Thursday, the lieutenant said.

Gore, 21, of the 2400 block of West Marquette Road, was dead on the scene, according to the medical examiner’s office.

The lieutenant said Calumet Area police detectives are speaking to a couple of people considered “persons of interest.” in Friday’s shooting, which was likely done in retaliation for Gore’s murder.

So, now after they shot him he will go back and shoot them and then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. Whoa, and then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. And then, they will go back and shoot them. I’m tired, I hope they are also.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should be using thier prominant status in the community, to express outrage every single time someone does something like this. But instead, they only crawl out from under thie rock to complain about society, or anything other than crimes commited by young blacks. These two so called reverends, aren’t doing thier part as black leaders.

It ends when parents start being parents instead of friends to their children and teach them how to LOVE, and RESPECT human life. It ends when black people start blaming the “WHITE MAN,” for their IGNORANCE. Jesse Jackson/ Al Sharpton are just like the person on the other end of the gun. Fame is Fame, whether its negative or positive. Thats what this is all about the killer think that he has made a big name for himself with his people or gang leader, but in reality he is killing his brain cells daily if he has a conscience and he has sold his soul to the devil.
