CHICAGO (CBS) — Three teenage boys were shot Tuesday afternoon in the Marquette Park neighborhood.

WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller reports one of the victims, possibly a 19-year-old man, was wounded in the chest and back and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, fire officials say.

The other two teens were reportedly shot in the arm, and were taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition.

Police say the victims were all found in the same general area, but not exactly the same location. One was found shot at 70th and Rockwell streets, the second was found a few doors down in the street, and the third about a block away at 69th Street and Washtenaw Avenue.

The shooting happened around 12:30 p.m., police said.

G-Lep

Don’t forget ol’ reliable, Father PHLEGMer!! Oh, wait — he’s STILL busy makin’ toy-gun-free Easter baskets with Skittles® and hoodies!!

Your comment is a sad commentary on humanity. Shame on you.

tom sharp

You’re partially right about “humanity,” but those involved are definitely subhuman; especially Jesse and Sharpton. Shame on me??? NO! Shame on them!
erin

well it seems the 3 shot are a poor representation of humanity. shame on them!

G-Lep

That whole NEIGHBORHOOD has become a poor representation of humanity. Shame on IT!!

Leroy Goldberg

We had a light weekend numberwise. This week is beginning to look promising.

G-Lep

It certainly is!!
THEE Yard Ape

Let’s hope we get those nikes soon Leroy!!! G-Lep – I’ll buy you a green pair to match your gold teef!!!

G-Lep

Oh, I can only hope!! Okay, gotta git busy shinin’ my GRILLZ.

erin

hmm you know what would have saved them from being shot? BEING AT SCHOOL OR WORK!! If they were at WORK OR SCHOOL they wouldnt have been in a park in the middle of a WORK OR SCHOOL day.

IF A WHITE PERSON KILL A BLACK KID AND NOTHING HAPPEN ,MAYBE THESE BLACK KIDS FEEL LIKE THEY IS ALREADY DIE THEY IS WAITING ON THE WHITE MAN TO BLOW THEY HEAD OFF AND GET AWAY WITH IT.80YEARS OLD MAN SHOOT A BLACK KID IN THE LEG FOR BREAKING IN HIS HOUSE AND IS CHARGE QUICKLY.WHITE MAN FOLLOW BLACK BOY AND KILL HIM AFTER THE POLICE TOLD HIM TO STOP FOLLOWING AND NO CHARGES WOW YOU DO THE MATH.

Doug

You left out the part about when the poor kid got hit in the fist with the other guy’s face. And while we’re at it, if the other guy is white so is Obama. In both cases, one parent was white and the other parent was from an entirely different ancestry.

Oh-oh!! It’s getting warm again!!!

DITTO!!! But wait!! What if they took the day off?? Too soon to judge. I take my DITTO back!! I’ll stay tuned…
erin

The white man you speak of Leonard wasnt white he was hispanic so you do the math.

NWA

No, he is White. His father is White and his mother is Hispanic. Therefore, he would be considered to be a White-Hispanic in every country on Earth.

S.O.S.

erin

unless he needed something that was special treatment for only hispanic/latinos right? like a college fund etc? then hes hispanic. but when people want to pull the race card and say its a white killing a black guy then hes white. so NO hes not considered white in every country earth.

K

The father is Jewish. The mother is mexican gal.

Army Vet,VN

How come the black folks aren’t marching because of THEM killing THEM,no they don’t like it when a WHITE folk stands up to THEM,remember that 13yr old White girl that was murdered by the black guy and then he took her phone and taunted her mother,we White folk should have hit the streets then,but White folks have no balls,and the blAacks know it,well I think things are going to change.

George Zimmerman, American

Change for the better for sure.

Mr. Vet,

First, exhale. Second, use your veterans benefits and sign up for some grammar and English courses so that you can comment coherently.
OLD VET

ARMYVET,VN; ALL THIS BULLC–P THATS GOING ON IN FLORIDA AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IS TO GET ALL THE BLACKS FIRED UP TO VOTE 2 OR 3 TIMES FOR OBAMA ,SO THEY CAN STILL KEEP PULLING OUT THE RACE CARDS !!

Centurion

pfleger…oh father pfleger…..i know this trayvon situation is horrible…but that is also 1500 miles away in beautiful deadly miami. These 3 young men are HERE…RIGHT HERE……you need to get your sorry A$$ out and do something about this…and don’t do one of your stupid marches…THAT GETS NOTHING DONE! Leave the Easter baskets alone and start walking thru the community…start talking to people…not your stupid flock of sheeple…but REAL PEOPLE….people who are part of this….you want to make a difference….stop being a photo op jerkwad and actually get out and do something.
Plfeger Wanna Be

Dear tom sharp and centurion, It is troubling that both of you, among others, see so little in people, in humans. Subhumans react with instinct, with no reason. Humans have reason, intellect, a realization of purpose, and a respect for life, all life, especially human life. If they don’t, it is because their parents have not instilled that respect.

Your references to subhuman and Easter baskets show your focus on the near-term. You need to focus on long-term effects that can only be achieved with long-term efforts: mercy and justice.

G-Lep

But… but… the “near-term” counts, too, Father PHLEGMer Wanna-Be!!

Plfeger Wanna Be3

Yes, G-Lep, the near term counts, too. But the near-term has only near-term results, short-term rewards. The secret is to continue to continue the near-term, so it becomes the long-term
G-Lep

Hmm… I find your comment vague, yet meaningless.

Plfeger Wanna Be2

G-Lep, yes, the whole neighborhood HAS become a poor example of humanity. But there are people who live there who are still good, and want to continue to be good, and teach their children to be good, but they are afraid. The don’t trust the police to protect them. And, to some degree, they are correct because there is also bad within a good police force. What do we do? Continue to do good. Do NOT stop to do good.

G-Lep

Oh, I’d like to address your use of the phrase “Wanna Be [sic]” in your screen name. Within this context, the phrase is correctly denoted “Wanna-Be”. It’s critical to know when to hyphenate — as well as when NOT to hyphenate.

Plfeger Wanna Be4

Or when to cast the first stone: or when to shoot, or not shoot.

franz

I remember when I was a kid the first black family that moved into marquette park was burned out and the neighborhood made a stand to prevent it from going down the tubes-Look at it now, damn shame……

My grandfather was born and raised in Austin, hung on as long as he could and moved out in 1970-look at it now, damn shame…..

I could go on and on-black man came-neighborhood went to sh!t….
bowhunter

How come we are not downtown protesting. That’s right it was black on black and not a poor cop defending himself.

Leroy Goldberg

BLACK ON BLACK IS ACCEPTABLE!
