September 20, 2013Thirteen people, including a 3-year-old boy who suffered a gunshot wound to the head, were shot at a Chicago park in the Back of the Yards neighborhood Thursday night, authorities said.Ten adults and the 3-year-old were transported by Fire Department ambulances after the attack in the 1800 block of West 51st Street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, said Fire Department Deputy District Chief James Mungovan at the scene.

A 12th victim was believed to have driven himself to Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, a source said, citing preliminary information.Police said later a total of 13 people were shot, the boy, two teens, and 10 adults, with the boy the most seriously wounded.

The boy suffered a gunshot wound to the head at an ear that exited through his mouth, and was in critical condition at Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.RelatedRaw video: 13 shot in park Photo: Deonta' Howard, age 3 18 shot in 4 hours in attacks across city Special report: Chicago Under the Gun Map: Track homicides in Chicago Search crime data for your Chicago community Interactive map of Chicago shootings Maps 1800 West 51st Street, Chicago, IL 60609, USA Ads by GoogleThe attack took place about 10:15 p.m. and fire officials called an Emergency Medical Services Plan II, sending at least 10 ambulances to the scene.Chicago police were making no information about what happened public, except to say that the shooting appeared to be gang-related.

The shootings took place on a basketball court on the 51st Street side of Cornell Square Park near Wood Street.A witness at the scene said three police officers carried the child to an ambulance."I didn't hear no sounds," from the child, he said.Family members identified the boy as Deonta' Howard, whose uncle was shot to death on Labor Day, Sept. 2.Deonta'--pronounced Deontay--nicknamed Tay Man, has a dislike for haircuts, one cousin said."He didn't like haircuts because he has a big head," said Porsche Chester, a cousin of the boy's. "But he is extremely smart. He didn't have that (head) for nothing."Three of the victims, including the boy, were initially taken to local hospitals in serious-to-critical condition, according to the Fire Department's news office.

Four were in fair-to-serious condition, and four were in good-to-fair condition, according to the Fire Department.Ambulances continued to arrive until about half an hour after the shootings took place, as injured people were brought out of the park on stretchers.At the peak, about 60 police officers were on the scene. Police crime lab investigators combed the scene. By about 12:30 a.m. Friday, Chicago firefighters used hoses to clean blood from the basketball court at the park.The victims' ages, sexes and injuries were, according to Police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines:•The 3-year-old boy, shot in the ear, in critical condition at Mount Sinai;•A 17-year-old girl, shot in the foot, condition stabilized at Holy Cross Hospital;•A 15-year-old boy shot in the arm, stabilized at Holy Cross;•A man, 27, shot in the leg and wrist, serious condition at Mount Sinai;•A man, 24, shot twice in the stomach, serious condition at Mount Sinia;•A man, 21, shot in the leg, serious condition at Mount Sinai;•A man, 41, shot in the buttocks, serious condition at John H.

Go fuck yourself Cobraracer. [patriot]
You & Your leftist pals are the ones to blame for all these homicides. Instead of trying restrict/strip away our constitutional rights, you should instead be working on educating children in our schools...... Not spending the majority of it on teachers unions [Wink] Maybe if some of these kids had good teachers they wouldn't feel they need to commit crimes to earn money.

But like most of you self centered, bible burning, baby killing closet racist maniacs you feel minorities can't MAKE IT in America because they're not as smart as you are. So you keep your constituents enslaved to government assistance so they have no voice but to vote for you.


Liberalism is a mental disorder. Case closed. [Eek!]

Funny how this shooting isn't every where in the media.

O wait.. no one died, was gang related, and in one of the most gun controlled cities in the country, and just shows that gun control failed to stop a bad guy from breaking the law.. They can't claim more gun control, when it fails in a city with some of the strictest gun control. [patriot]

Chicago is nuts man, that city is just like Detroit pretty much a lost cause. I visit there a couple times a year cause of the old lady's family there is crime everywhere even though it could be such a damn nice place to go see. Her uncle or cousin one or the other, works Homicide for CPD they had one weekend back in 2010 or 2011 where a single district had 40 murders in one night. Place is sick man and obviously Daly and now Obamas boy and their stance on gun control has been a huge failure.

Chicago is now the murder capitol of the United States surpassing NY. Oakland was ranked number 11 but no where near Chicago in terms of homicides/year

You guys know as well as I do that people like cobraracer aren't looking for more strict gun laws. They want to do like Australia did, take all the guns from private citizens. You guys also know that ain't NEVER gonna happen.
