Chicago Gun Violence – Man Shot on Broadway in 48th Ward

It’s a shame that too often these days, individuals resort to firearms to settle disputes. Certainly no one wants to be assaulted physically under any circumstances but people seems to turn to the use of deadly force quickly and easily and with little thought or care for the sanctity of life.

Reports of deadly violence permeates our nightly news. Sadly even now it’s found its way into our own news platform which has been dedicated primarily to lifestyle reporting. But sometimes news finds you and we can’t turn a blind eye as violence and the threat of violence creeps closer and closer to home.

*Update to this story. The victim was reported to be a 33 year-old male with a non life threatening wound to his leg.
