Three teenagers, including a 13-year-old, were killed Friday in a shooting on Chicago's South Side that authorities believe involved an assault rifle. It appears "several individuals" attacked the teens, and shell casings found at the scene point to at least one assault rifle, said Police Superintendent Jody Weis.What's so "progressive" about being gunned down?"It's just tragic, based on the guns that are on the streets, that three young men have lost their lives today," Weis said.
"We're bringing out every resource we have, and we'll work this case as hard as we can," he said.
Officials hope at least two surveillance video cameras near the crime scene will lead to clues, said police Cmdr. Eddie Welch, who added that investigators are looking at "multiple scenes."
"They're in great positions," Welch said of the cameras.
No one was in custody as of Friday night, Officer JoAnn Taylor said.
The shooting occurred Friday afternoon about a block from Immaculate Conception School. It is not clear if any of the victims were students there.

Here's an article I'd love the NYT or Chicago Sun to write: What specifically about life under liberalism will be good for America? And don't report on the "good intentions" of liberalism as if it were a substitute for it's actual results.
This article is portaying actual events, i.e. "news" of three boys getting shot. But then the AP strays into commentary by including a quote that fits its agenda: that there are too many guns on the street.
This is only looking one move deep. Boy gets shot, guns bad, end of story. I expect that of TV. They have 30 seconds to tell a story. But the AP just repeats the same thing. Why buy a paper from the Chicago Sun 36 hours later.
If the paper would do it's job, and look 2, 3 or 4 moves deeper, people would have a reason to read. Here we could benefit by a reporter looking at homes broken by Great Society welfare, schools that teach students victimhood instead of math and taxes that create economic blight. This is history, this is fact, these are the results of 45 years of social mismanagement conducted by the only party that has had anything to do with Chicago, the Democratic Party.
Where are the newspapers in demanding actual plans and actual results instead of reporting a future eutopia as if it is a guarantee under democrats? When will the papers start measuring these results? They've had 45 years to do so, and the best that they can do is quote someone who basically says "The Guns Did It".
If the newspapers want half a chance of survival they need to do the one thing that TV and radio can't: look at cause and effect more than one layer deep.
And that's why they will fail. Because if they look deeper at problems like this they will get past the black on black crime, and the guns, and they will almost always see a white democratic politician on the take from a white corrupt businessman conducting "business" for their own personal gain in the name of social justice.
This simply cannot be allowed to be reported. And down goes the circulation.
