Two women and an 8-year-old boy were killed and two other children were critically wounded in a shooting in the Grand Crossing neighborhood Thursday morning, Chicago police said.
A community rallied Friday after two women and an 8-year-old boy were killed Thursday in a Grand Crossing shooting that also left two boys wounded.It was an effort to promote healing in the community one day after multiple family members here were gunned down inside of a home.
In the wake of the deadly holiday shooting, Sam Binion, founder of Operation Neighborhood Safety, is set up for the city community rally, "Operation Wake Up," near the scene at 71st Place and Woodlawn.He brought some of the 8-year-old victim's classmates from Paul Revere Elementary School, including Ayden Dexter.
"Even if there was someone killed in your family, going back to kill other people won't bring them back," neighbor Aaron Jenkins said.
