What on God's green earth would possess a creature to unload 22 bullets into a f'ing 13 yr old???

Robert Freeman Jr., just 13 years old, was shot as many as 22 times Wednesday night in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, police said. He was standing next to a car near 115th Street and South Perry Avenue at around 8:15 p.m. when a masked gunman jumped out of an overgrown vacant lot and opened fire into a crowd of people.

Freeman was the only one hit, and witnesses said the gunman pumped bullet after bullet into the young boy's body.


Freeman's family and neighbors said they believe the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. Freeman had a similar haircut, complexion and height as another boy in the neighborhood who they think was the target, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The teen was expected to begin eighth grade at Oglesby Elementary School this fall. He had been living in the neighborhood for three months and was mowing lawns to make money.

Inspired by a comment: :)

Thank goodness Chicago has gun registration. It shouldn't take them long to track down the registered owner.

Man that sucks! I'm sure someone will try to spin this into "That's why we need a gun ban in Chicago" as if that would have helped. If I lived in a city like Chicago I would definitely consider outfitting my family with these.
