Chicago Police searching for suspect in State Street bridge shooting - Post-Tribune

SUMMARY:
Monday afternoon during rush hour (5PM) a man walks behind another man crossing the State Bridge and shoots him point blank in the head and runs away. It appears this was a targeted hit as nothing was stolen from the victim.

IMO this is a very bold move. Downtown chicago is the #1 city in the US that has the most video camera's all over the place. Yet the gunman still managed to take his shot and run away. WOW!

BTW the vicitm per the article is in critical condition but alive. WOW!
A bystander named lewis got it right however he said
"You don’t expect this near the Trump Tower. If it’s [near] the Trump Tower, it can be anywhere.”

Man, if they'd just outlaw handguns they wouldn't have this kind of trouble up there.

err... wait, I mean....

Right. This has to be a big lie. I call BS! Guns aren't allowed in Chicago!

It sounded like a "hit" to me. It was up close, one shot and to the head.....although if it was a hit, why not a suppresor.

Well considering a homeless guy slashed the hell out of someone outside on of the famous steak houses in the city over a cigarette last year it doesnt suprise me. I work off duty in the city alot and never leave without many reloads and extra ammo.

^This I think it was a hit. However I don't think the BG is going to get paid as the victim is alive per the article. How one survives getting shot in the back of the head is a wonder. Lucky guy!

lucky it was not a double tap....

Yeah, that shooter would not survive the zombie apocalypse.

The news this evening was reporting that it was a graze wound. There's also the chance that it was a .25 ACP or a 9mm.

The victim isn't squeeky clean either.

my uncle got a ticket at that intersection for running a red light at 2am about 10 years ago... I can't blame him for not wanting to be a stationary target.
