You have 20-30 people shot in some neighborhoods on the south side every weekend and Emanuel just tells everyone how much safer and better its getting. No way he would comment on this. Hopefully with the next election the people of Chicago send him a strong message and vote him out.

“Incidents” like this one are exactly the reason my partner and I got the hell out of Edgewater Beach. It’s rapidly gone downhill in the past few years, and no one seems to even want to admit there’s a problem.

I saw this on WGN-TV at 9:00 pm. The fact that it happened after the other networks’ evening newscasts were already underway may be the reason they didn’t cover it. “Car hits dog” isn’t really newsworthy; 11 shots fired from a speeding car on the pedestrian path is. I hope the surveillance cameras can provide some clues.

Why was this not broadcast? If it was an unarmed gangbanger hit by a policeman for a crime in progress- then it would have been all over the news. I am so sorry for the dog’s owners.

I completely agree. This is insane – shots were fired and pedestrians could have been killed.

No. Not on NBC morning news. I guess where to find 12 copies of “Charlie Hebdo”
in Chicago area took priority over this news.

An SUV drives into the park, shoots a gun in the air, kills a dog hits three other dogs then drives back on the street and leaves but no picture or license number or anything??!?

Some maniac drives through a park during a prime use time and the mayor?… I think I hear crickets. I guess gunshots and dead pets and endangered citizens in a city park aren’t a big deal. Good to know.

How is this not a bigger story?? The facts remain: people were with their dogs. Shots were fired. Then, said people and their dogs have a 2+ ton vehicle aim at them, accelerate and some animals were run-over/killed. Besides animal cruelty, isn’t this attempted murder??? And, wouldn’t better news coverage encourage a greater police presence, not to mention maybe some tips?
