Chicago: School Bus Hit by Gunfire
In Chicago, even small children aren’t exempt from the gangland violence which has gripped the city for several months.

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Police were called to Our Lady of Guadalupe School, 9050 S. Burley Ave., about 7:40 a.m., following a report of criminal damage to a bus there, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada. Police found that a gunshot appears to have entered one of the windows of the bus, traveled through a seat, then exited another window, in the incident in the 10600 block of South Calhoun Avenue, said News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
The bus was hit as it was picking up children about two miles away from the school, said Ryan Blackburn, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Officer of Catholic Schools.
In an email, Blackburn confirmed that no students were injured in the shooting, but the thought of a being murdered en route to school is enough to shake any parent to the core.
“Teaching our students to learn well and live as disciples of Jesus Christ is what we do, and any action that threatens our children’s safety can not be tolerated” Blackburn said in the emailed statement.
The bus driver says he did not originally think the damage to the bus was from a real gun, but a paint gun, so he continued driving the kids to school.

Chicago is out of control with all of the recent gun fire incidents. I am glad that I do not live there.
Sick MF’s this sounds like Whitefolks & Dope!
Chicago is beginning to look like a third world country that you see on the news. If adults do nothing, and turn a blind eye, then adults have failed the children.
And I mean all adults, not just parents. That means churches, elected officials, school personnel, and community members. This violence affects everyone, not just people living in gang-infested neighborhoods.
Ishmar, this sounds like gang bangers, or illiterate a*s people like you, that want to excuse thugs, and put the blame on others. Tell me, exactly what do you expect your racist tirades to achieve? You certainly aren’t helping our people, by encouraging them to be racists, are have racist attitudes, because if they would adopt your way of thinking, they will never be able to find employment; get along socially with others; or even survive in this racially diverse universe. This world, is made up of many different cultures, and there are no such thing as an superior, or inferior race. If you feel inadequate in your your skin, that is a personal problem. So please confine your racist ideologies to your space, and let the rest of us the f**k alone. The young people of today, need intelligent guidance, not racist dogma, from disgruntled race hustlers.
@ Shameful , what do you mean by saying like a third world country? Chicago is worse than a third world country. Oh and the way, it is called developing country now, third world country is very degrading
