I'm really thinking about all those families affected by this shooting, gotta be super tough for them to deal with 
. We need more positivity in our community, less violence & guns, you feel me? 
At the same time, I'm hoping detectives catch the person who did this & bring them to justice 
. It's a complex situation but we gotta keep trying to make Chicago a safer place for everyone 
.
Chicago's supposed to be a city that takes care of its own, but now we got some young dude lying on the ground like it's nobody's business 
And now our streets are more like war zones than peaceful neighborhoods. This is just getting outta hand... 
just another senseless shooting in Chicago 
.
just heard about this incident in Garfield Ridge... such senseless gun violence is getting outta control in Chicago 
my thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim 
. Chicago's South Side has been hit way too many times by this stuff 
. It's like the city's not doing enough to keep people safe 
. The police are trying, but it's hard to make progress when there's so much corruption and crime going on 
. We need more community support and resources to help these neighborhoods thrive 
. People are suffering, families are hurting... what's next?! 
! You can't help but feel for the victim's loved ones right now 
. I'm keeping my thoughts and prayers with those affected by this senseless tragedy, hoping that justice is served soon 
. We gotta come together as a community to support each other during these tough times

the fact that a gun was recovered from the scene just makes me wanna scream & cry 
what r we doin to prevent dis kind of thing from happenin again? 
. I mean, come on, can't they do better than that? It feels like we're still stuck in the dark ages of online updates. And what's with the lack of emojis? A little 
but then something like this happens and it feels like the whole system kinda breaks down 
. Can't help but think that's something we should all be paying attention to and doing our part to prevent these tragedies in the future 
and hope that detectives can catch the person responsible soon 
also, 11:55 pm on a thursday night is way too late for a shooting to just happen... seems like someone might've been waiting or had prior knowledge of the situation... anyway, my heart goes out to the victim's family & friends 
can't we just try to find ways to bridge that gap between us, you know?
