CHICAGO — Dramatic, frightening video shared with CWBChicago captured the sights and sounds as a gunman shot at a Chicago Fire Department ambulance, opened fire on a man walking a dog, and dashed into a firefight with the Chicago Police Department.
Another day ending in Y. And the Mayor cancelled the Shotspotter program. Second City Cop reports people shot, laying in alleys and nobody calls it in. And with a $1B (yes billion) budget shortfall he's closing out unfilled police spots. It's a mess up there.
Shotspotter is a complete joke even when it was working. Just a way to milk municipalities for constant "upgrades", because "it will work better now!". Most cities that bought in are giving the system a hard pass once the initial contracts are done.
Starker here, Update: Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi is accused of attempted murder & a hate crime. An Orthodox Jewish man walking to a synagogue was shot on Saturday. The perp survived. (Those boys need to spend more time at the range) https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/10/31/hate-crime-terrorism-charges-filed-in-shooting-of-man-heading-to-west-ridge-synagogue

Don't you mean the _victim_ survived? Regrettably, the perp was never in danger.
