美华人遭3名非裔抢劫…他开枪回击 劫匪尖叫逃窜

文章来源: 红星新闻 

11/21/2021

据警方透露,当地时间周六凌晨(20 日),美国费城梅菲尔区的一名非裔男子在持枪抢劫一名华人男性未遂后死亡。

事故发生在晚上 12 点 15 分左右,一名华人优步司机在 Sackett 街附近的 Longshore 大道下车准备回家时,三名非裔男子拿着枪指向他,试图抢劫。


Philadelphia Mayfair Shooting

1 dead, 1 wounded and 1 arrested 2021/11/20 12:15 a.m at 3200 block of Longshore Avenue.

A Chinese Uber food delivery driver who has a license to carry a concealed weapon in front of his house was robbed by 3 young men and fought back.

费城东北区Mayfair,一名华人男子晚上12:15在送餐工作结束回家在自家门前,正要进入家门时,被3名年轻黑人尾随,其中2人各持1把手枪顶在后背抢劫。华人男子称钱在车上,趁一名劫匪反身去车内取钱的时候,连续开枪反击,共打出12发子弹。据警局报道,该华人男子有合法持枪许可。

3名劫匪虽然持枪,但没有意识到突如其来的反击,吓得仓皇逃窜。最后击毙一人,重伤一人,这2人年龄为20岁出头,剩余一人(17、18岁)现在已经被警局收押。



从现场视频看,这名华人男子最初十分 ” 顺从 “,并试图表现出无助的样子。在劫匪放松警惕之际,他趁机掏出自己的手枪,向三名劫匪开枪,造成 1 人死亡,2 人受伤。视频中可以听到一名劫匪尖叫道:” 拜托!(Please)”。

警方表示,其中一名男子胸部中了数枪,于凌晨 4 点 59 分在杰斐逊 – 托雷斯代尔医院被宣布死亡。另一名男子全身中枪多处,目前情况危急,而另一名男性嫌疑人在逃跑后被捕归案。


Police: Deliveryman shoots, kills armed suspect trying to rob him in Philadelphia
Nov 20, 2021

Two armed suspects picked the wrong deliveryman to rob Saturday in Philadelphia’s Mayfair section. Police say the victim was leaving his home after dropping off a delivery to his family after midnight on the 3200 block of Longshore Avenue.


警方人员表示:” 被抢劫人持有有效的持枪许可证。在事件发生后,他待在现场,和警方交谈,描述了发生的事情,另外,我们获取了事发地区的多个监控录像,证实了他所说的事情。”

而就在当地时间 19 日,在美国备受关注的基诺沙市枪击案宣判,嫌疑人凯尔 · 里滕豪斯被判无罪。

去年 8 月,威斯康星州基诺沙持续发生抗议示威活动,在 8 月 25 日的示威中,当时 17 岁的里滕豪斯手持步枪在街上被人追打,他倒在地上后向抢夺其枪支的人开枪,造成 2 人死亡、1 人受伤。美国检方随后对里滕豪斯提出包括一级谋杀罪在内的 5 项罪名指控。



里滕豪斯的无罪判决在美国社会引发了持枪权和自卫界限的激烈争论。但与上述华人男子不同,当时未成年的里滕豪斯并没有持枪许可证。

亚裔学生在费城遭种族仇恨袭击

另据外媒报道,同样是在费城,数日前还发生了一起 4 名非裔女孩在地铁上攻击一群亚裔学生的事件。

当地时间 19 日,费城地方检察官办公室批准了对四名非裔未成年女生的指控,她们涉嫌于 17 日在地铁上对一群亚裔学生发动仇恨袭击,将面临严重攻击、种族恐吓、犯罪阴谋等相关指控。据报道,一名女孩还因试图盗窃一名受害者的 AirPods 而面临一项抢劫罪的指控。



↑四名非裔未成年女生涉嫌于 17 日在地铁上对一群亚裔学生发动仇恨袭击。

一段在网上疯传的视频显示,一群非裔女孩先是对几名亚裔男孩进行了口头骚扰和身体攻击。随后,另一名亚裔女性出面试图缓和气氛,很快就被她们团团围住。其中两名非裔女孩开始对她进行殴打,并将她的头撞向车门。不仅如此,在她被殴打倒地后,她们的攻击仍在继续,其中一名袭击者还用鞋子对她进行殴打。随后,这名受害者女孩报了警。

警方称,袭击者和受害者都来自中央高中(Central High School)。SEPTA 交通警察局长 Thomas Nestel 表示,这是一次基于种族的袭击。他还补充说,此次袭击事件完全是无端发生的,” 但一些非裔美国人团体试图将这次袭击事件归咎于亚洲学生。”

有消息人士向媒体透露,就在袭击发生前一天,当地时间周二,袭击组织的非裔女孩就曾对这两名亚裔男孩进行了 ” 种族侮辱 “,并向他们倒了一杯冰沙。另据当地媒体报道,中央高中的家长们也曾一再抱怨,亚裔学生在学校不断受到非裔学生的骚扰。他们被迫放弃来之不易的职位,为其他非裔学生腾位置,很多无辜的学生也不断受到骚扰。

全美瞩目枪击案 白人少年获判无罪 法律专家不意外

文章来源: HK01

11/21/2021

美国18岁白人少年里滕豪斯(Kyle Rittenhouse)在威斯康星州(Wisconsin)城市基诺沙(Kenosha)反种族歧视示威现场开枪,酿成2死1伤后,陪审团11月19日裁定他无罪,在美国社会引发众怒,但据美媒所指,当地法律专家认为这个结果并不意外,为何如此?

事发于2020年8月25日午夜,基诺沙市街头的反种族歧视示威演变成骚乱之际,里滕豪斯开枪造成26岁的胡贝尔(Anthony Huber)和36岁的罗森鲍姆(Joseph Rosenbaum)死亡,27岁的格罗斯克罗伊茨(Gaige Grosskreutz)亦受枪伤。

Kyle Rittenhouse trial
Nov 20, 2021

5项罪名均不成立

事后里滕豪斯遭检方指控犯下一级故意杀人罪、一级卤莽杀人罪、一级故意杀人未遂及2项一级卤莽危害安全罪。经历审判后,陪审团决定5项罪名均不成立,引发美国社会激烈讨论,不过美国有线新闻网络(CNN)20日引述法律专家指,他们对判决并不感到惊讶。

报道引述民权律师科尔曼(Charles F Coleman Jr)解释,随着审判展开,两种论述开始“竞争”,一是里滕豪斯是挑起暴力者,另一是他属于遭攻击的受害人。科尔曼说,比起挑衅,最终陪审团认为“自卫”的说法更有说服力。



根据其中一个事发片段,里滕豪斯当时拿着枪在跑,后面则有人追着他。

里滕豪斯证词成关键

CNN指,里滕豪斯出庭时的供词成为关键。里滕豪斯辩称,自己当晚带着武器前往基诺沙市中心,尝试保护一间名为Car Source的汽车经销商,他是向追赶他的“暴民”开枪。

他在庭上声泪俱下地说道,后来成为死者的罗森鲍姆当时威胁他和追赶他,向他掷袋并扑向他的枪,自己之后是出于自卫才开枪。里滕豪斯主张:“如果我让罗森鲍姆夺去我的枪,他会用它杀我甚或杀更多人。”

Nov 20, 2021

里滕豪斯又说,另一死者胡贝尔当时用滑板打他和抓住他的枪,自己才朝对方胸部开枪,格罗斯克罗伊茨则是朝他冲过来并用手枪指着他的头。

里滕豪斯的辩护律师理查兹(Mark Richards)更向记者表示,辩方之前已私下做测试,找来模拟陪审团分成两组,只有其中一组观看里滕豪斯的作供,测试结果便显示,若然里滕豪斯亲身作供,得来的结果会有利得多。



由于辩方声称里滕豪斯当晚行为属正当防卫,检控方有责任反驳里滕豪斯并非合理怀疑。检察官要反驳其自卫讲法和表明他当晚挑起暴力,这种情况对控方不利。

控方有错失?

联邦前法官霍尼格(Elie Honig)认为,控方尝试把里滕豪斯描绘成主动开枪的人,但这种说法未能站得住脚。他认为里滕豪斯当时并非无差别开枪,而是向攻击他的人开枪。除此之外,检控官曾两度遭法官警告提问方式有问题。

陪审团指示对控方不利

报道引述高级法律分析人士科茨(Laura Coates)指,真正影响审判结果的是法官向陪审团发出的指示。在这次案中,法官要求陪审员从年仅17岁的里滕豪斯身上发生这种事的视角去看待这宗案件和评估他当时的行为是否合理,而非事后回顾。

Why the Kyle Rittenhouse ‘not guilty’ verdict is not a surprise to legal experts

By BECKY SULLIVAN

11/21/2021

Bystanders on the steps of the courthouse watch as the verdict is read in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Legal experts said Rittenhouse’s claim of self-defense was strong from the beginning.

After 27 hours of deliberation over the course of four days, a jury declared Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on the five charges he faced after fatally shooting two people and wounding a third during a night of unrest in Kenosha, Wis., last year.

Rittenhouse trembled as the verdict was read, count by count, then collapsed in sobs.

“There were times we doubted the case. There were times when we were confident,” said Mark Richards, Rittenhouse’s lead defense attorney, speaking to reporters outside the courthouse after the verdict was read.

Rittenhouse faced five felony counts after he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, then 26. The most serious charge, first-degree intentional homicide, carried a mandatory sentence of life in prison.



Though jurors did not speak to the media to explain their decision, legal experts contacted by NPR throughout the trial said an acquittal was not surprising.

“I think that anyone who saw the evidence could see that the jury might have a difficult time coming to a unanimous decision that Kyle Rittenhouse wasn’t defending himself,” said Julius Kim, a defense attorney and former prosecutor based in the Milwaukee area.

Rittenhouse had a strong self-defense case

Prosecutors said that Rittenhouse had put himself in danger through a series of reckless choices: He came to Kenosha during a period of violent and destructive riots; he armed himself with an AR-15-style rifle; he stayed there past curfew and after being separated from his group. They emphasized that he was the only person there to shoot someone.

But the law of self-defense in Wisconsin allows someone to use deadly force if they reasonably believe they are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm.



“And if so, he’s allowed to use essentially as much force as he thinks is reasonably necessary to stop the threat,” said Kim.

Rosenbaum, the first person Rittenhouse shot, had acted belligerently throughout the night, according to video evidence and witness testimony. Later, he chased Rittenhouse through a used-car lot. Rittenhouse and another witness both testified that Rosenbaum had reached for Rittenhouse’s gun. Rittenhouse shot four times within a second, killing him.

“Mr. Rosenbaum was chasing me. I pointed my gun at him, and that did not deter him. He could have ran away instead of trying to take my gun from me, but he kept chasing me. It didn’t stop him,” Rittenhouse testified last week.

Afterward, Rittenhouse ran away toward a police line, he said during the trial. While he was running, several people started to chase him, including Huber and Grosskreutz. Huber struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard, evidence showed, and Grosskreutz was armed with a Glock pistol.



Prosecutors said that the two men had believed Rittenhouse was an “active shooter” and were trying to disarm him. But Rittenhouse testified that he feared for his life.

The defense had a “very disciplined message” throughout the trial, said Steven Wright, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin. They consistently emphasized Rittenhouse’s stated intentions that night — acting as a medic and protecting private property — and the threats to his safety, Wright said.

That message was clearest when Rittenhouse himself testified, a turn on the stand that several experts said was very effective for the defense.

“He was very well prepped. He did not come off as smug or indignant,” said Charles Coleman Jr., a civil rights lawyer and former prosecutor, who said that Rittenhouse came off like a “regular teenager.” “That needed to be something that the jury was reminded of.”



Richards, Rittenhouse’s defense attorney, told NPR’s All Things Considered that he thought Rittenhouse “did a very good job for an 18-year-old kid who was testifying for his life.”

Prosecutors had a very high bar to overcome Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim

In Wisconsin, once a defendant has made a self-defense claim, prosecutors must then disprove it “beyond a reasonable doubt,” experts explained.

The prosecution’s case depended on video evidence that was often dark and blurry. One key video was shot from far away, and in others, the action was at times obstructed, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions.

“Some of the video footage, some of the still frame shots appeared to support the self-defense claim,” said Chris Zachar, a criminal defense attorney based in La Crosse, Wis., who said prosecutors had “squandered” their case.



Prosecutors attempted to convince jurors that Rittenhouse had provoked the encounter with Rosenbaum, which would have undercut his self-defense claim. But the interaction they described as Rittenhouse pointing his rifle at other people before the chase was captured only by a single drone video, filmed from over a block away, in which Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum are tiny and distant.

Another video that captured Rittenhouse’s encounter with Huber and Grosskreutz was analyzed frame by frame during the trial. Defense attorneys and prosecutors urged jurors to draw opposite conclusions from it — including, crucially, whether Grosskreutz had pointed his pistol at Rittenhouse before being shot.

“The state has to prove that Kyle Rittenhouse provoked the attack by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. And so, the question is: If everyone in that courtroom is still not sure, if the judge wasn’t sure, then how are 12 jurors going to be sure?” said Kim.

The state’s own witnesses at times helped Rittenhouse’s case

Prosecutors called more than a dozen witnesses to help make their case. But legal experts said that, at times, those witnesses seemed to bolster Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim.



The state called two men who had accompanied Rittenhouse that night, also intending to help protect private property. Both witnesses, Ryan Balch and Jason Lackowski, said Rosenbaum asked to be shot and “false-stepped” armed men in an attempt to provoke a reaction. One described him as “hyperaggressive.”

“They all painted a picture that Mr. Rosenbaum was definitely the aggressor,” said Wright, of the University of Wisconsin. “There was testimony that he lunged for the gun.”

Another one of the state’s witnesses, Richie McGinniss, a video director for a conservative news site who witnessed the Rosenbaum shooting, testified that Rosenbaum was reaching for Rittenhouse’s rifle.

And Grosskreutz, who was the prosecutors’ star witness as the only person who survived being shot by Rittenhouse, gave testimony that underscored the challenge facing prosecutors.

Grosskreutz ran after Rittenhouse after the first shooting and was approaching him, Glock pistol in hand, as Rittenhouse shot Huber. Grosskreutz testified that he believed Huber was trying to harm Rittenhouse.



For a moment, Grosskreutz paused and raised his hands in the air, gun held limply in his right hand.

But then he saw Rittenhouse adjusting his weapon, he testified, so he brought his arms back down and moved toward Rittenhouse. In doing so, he pointed his weapon at Rittenhouse, he admitted during cross-examination.

“It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him — advanced on him with your gun, now your hands down, pointed at him — that he fired, right?” defense attorney Corey Chirafisi said.

“Correct,” Grosskreutz replied.

Kim, the former prosecutor, pointed to that exchange as an especially bad moment for the prosecution.

“I think the defense did an effective job of taking one of the state’s witnesses and using him to start building their case,” he said. “There were times where I had to remind myself who called him as the witness.”

By: WGN Web DeskRob Sneed

11/12/2021

CHICAGO — Murder charges have been filed in the shooting death of a University of Chicago graduate earlier this week in Hyde Park, Chicago police announced.

Alton Spann, 18, is being charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon.

Dennis Zheng, 24, was shot to death during a robbery in the 900 block of East 54th Place just before 2 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.

Police said Span was located utilizing POD cameras the next day, and was taken into custody following a traffic stop near the intersection of West North Avenue and North Sedgwick Avenue.

Officers recovered two firearms from Spann’s vehicle during the arrest, with gun testing confirming Spann was connected to the murder.



Following charges being filed against Spann, Mayor Lori Lightfoot offered the following statement:

“Mayor Lightfoot is extremely proud of the dogged and phenomenal work of the Chicago Police Department’s Bureau of Detectives to quickly apprehend and charge Alton Spann for the murder of Shaoxiong Zheng. Individuals who commit senseless and cowardly acts of violence, and who recklessly cut short the lives of residents must be held accountable, and it the Mayor’s hope that this announcement can serve as the first step on the long road toward healing and justice for Mr. Zheng’s family and loved ones, as well as the University of Chicago Community.

The Mayor will continue to keep this young man’s family, as well as the entire Hyde Park and University of Chicago communities in her prayers as they continue to grapple with this tragic loss. As communities throughout Chicago continue to struggle with gun violence, protecting the lives and wellbeing of all of Chicago’s residents and visitors remains the Mayor’s top priority.”

According to police, the investigation into Zheng’s murder will continue, although police did confirm Spann was the gunman in Zheng’s murder.

中国留学生在美遭枪杀: 其来自成都 刚硕士毕业

来源:极目新闻

11/10/2021

  美国当地时间11月9日下午,在美国芝加哥大学附近,一名今年刚从该校毕业的中国留学生遭遇一持枪抢劫匪徒枪杀,凶手随后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃走。极目新闻记者采访获悉,遇难者来自中国四川,年仅24岁。

  大白天遭抢劫遇难

  据美国当地媒体报道,9日下午1时54分左右,在芝加哥大学附近54小街900号的行人道上,遭一名持枪抢劫匪徒当街枪杀,凶手随后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃走。芝加哥警方表示,24岁的受害男子当时走在54小街夹爱丽丝大道交口的行人道,一辆深色车辆突然在他旁边停靠,一名劫匪走到该亚裔男子旁,要求他交出财物。抢劫过程中,劫匪不知为何突然对该男子开了好几枪,其中一发子弹击中受害者的胸部。警方接警后立刻赶到现场,中枪男子被送到芝加哥大学医院后不治身亡。

  芝加哥大学一名在校生小雯(化名)告诉极目新闻记者,事后学校发了声明给所有师生,确认不幸遭枪杀的男子,近期才从该校硕士毕业,遭到枪击16分钟后就不幸遇难。

  小雯还介绍,就在枪杀案件发生前2小时,芝加哥大学才发送出一份《安全通知》,告知师生学校附近的53街1500号附近有人持枪扫射。

  据当地警方介绍,有两家商铺和多辆车在枪击中遭子弹击中。



  遇难者来自成都

  11月10日,极目新闻记者从小雯以及多名香港大学校友获悉,遭枪击遇难的留学生姓郑,来自四川成都。他2015年从成都一所高中毕业后,到香港大学求学,之后来到芝加哥大学攻读统计学硕士,近期才毕业。

  事发后,郑先生的多名朋友在社交平台表达愤怒和哀悼。

  一名港大校友说:“有朋友说芝大抢劫枪杀,就在他家楼下,我还觉得荒谬但遥远。而后朋友圈和树洞出现了很多消息,学姐来问我有没有在芝加哥的朋友有更多信息,说只知道遇难者是亚裔,24岁。港大某位学长在芝加哥大学读统计学硕士,刚毕业,一直联系不上,大家都很担心。之后都是焦急且无谓的等待时间,在信息洪流中分辨真真假假,宁愿都是误传。直到最后确认了身份,大使馆联系了家人。可还是无法接受,恍若噩梦一场,怎么会这样呢……家庭花了24年的时间培养一个孩子,个体花了24年的时间走到今日,扳机一扣,啪,没了。”她还称,郑先生朋友圈里的照片还停留在上周,第一次参加乒乓球比赛,“真的那么阳光鲜活的人啊……”

  小雯告诉极目新闻记者,事发后,郑先生的家人联系不上他,他的母亲还在留学生家长微信群到处问,有没有人能联系上她儿子,自己看了直接破防。

  “那个时候大家只排查出是统计系的中国学生,还没确认身份,家长没正式接到通知,也不愿意接受这个事实,所以到处在问,希望有奇迹。”小雯说。



  一直都是学霸

  极目新闻记者了解到,郑先生高中毕业那年,曾参加当地一培优机构举办的沙龙讲座,当地媒体还进行了采访。

  媒体报道称,郑先生还未满18岁,却显示出了超越他实际年龄的成熟和稳健。他说除了在上课期间认真弄懂每个知识点外,课余还会钻研互联网等很多他感兴趣的领域。他也为在场的家庭分享了自己在高中三年所使用的一些对提高学习成绩大有益处的APP。自己还建立了一些个人小档案,有成长笔记,也有错题集,每一点记录都为他后来能以总分651分的好成绩考入香港大学奠定了深厚的基础。

  沙龙讲座结束后,很多学生家长仍然围绕在他周围,询问关于学习方法的问题,他也都一一耐心地解答。

  两年前,他还和同学合著了一本关于做事逻辑的著作,豆瓣评分6.1分。

  11月9日下午,极目新闻记者致电郑先生高中母校,工作人员称暂未听说此事。



  案发地附近枪击案频发

  今年以来,芝加哥大学枪案频发。7月1日,该校大三学生路易斯从芝加哥搭车返回校园时,有流弹击穿车窗,打中他的头部,虽紧急送医仍于4日后不治。

  今年年初,芝加哥大学博士班中国留学生范轶然在芝加哥大学校园附近公寓停车场遭枪击身亡。

  小雯告诉极目新闻记者,案发地离芝加哥大学校园最近的建筑步行仅两分钟。那边是住宅区,没有商铺,住了很多留学生,但街头人很少。

  小雯说,芝加哥大学附近枪击案频繁,几乎每天都能听到枪击声。

  另一在芝加哥工作的徐先生也告诉极目新闻记者,芝加哥的黑帮火拼事件比加州更多,治安状况并不乐观。

芝加哥大学24岁亚裔生 于校园遭抢劫枪杀

位于芝加哥南区的芝加哥大学,9日下午传出抢劫枪杀案。(读者提供)

一名近期才从芝加哥大学毕业的24岁男性,9日下午1时54分左右,在校园附近54小街900号的行人道上,遭一名持枪抢劫匪徒当街枪杀,歹徒作案后跳上停在旁边的车辆逃逸,目前死者身分仍未公布,但根据可靠消息指出,这名受害者为亚裔,且有可能是华人。

芝加哥警局表示,24岁的受害男子当时走在54小街夹爱丽斯大道(Ellis Ave.)交口的行人道,一辆深色车辆突然在其旁边停靠,一名男嫌从车内走出到该名亚裔男旁,要求其交出财物,抢劫过程中,歹徒不知何故对受害者开了好几枪,其中一发子弹打中受害者胸部。

警察据报后立即赶到现场,中枪男子虽经送到芝加哥大学医院仍不治。

该部涉案车辆之后有人看见往54小街西向逃逸。



事发地点有许多学生聚居,旁边还有一小座儿童公园,平日人车来往频繁,芝大学生听到有人在该地点遭到抢劫枪杀,都感到十分意外与震惊。

芝大稍后发出声明给所有师生,确认该名不幸遭枪杀的死者,近期才从芝加哥大学毕业,该校正与芝加哥警局合作,收集更多案件信息,事发后,芝大警局已经立即增加校园附近的巡逻,虽然现阶段没有任何迹象显示该事件为系列案件,但学校鼓励所有人提高警觉、谨慎行事。

这起抢劫枪杀事件发生前两小时,芝大才送出一份「安全通知」,告知学校老师、学生有关东53街1500号附近有枪击案,警方表示,两家当地商家及多部车辆均在该枪击案中被子弹击中。

20岁的芝加哥大学大三学生路易斯(Max Lewis)今年7月1日从芝加哥市搭乘绿线捷运准备返回校园时,不幸遭到从车窗窜入的流弹打中颈部,虽紧急送医急救仍于5日不治。

今年年初芝大博士班中国留学生范轶然,则在芝大校园附近公寓停车场遭枪手滥杀。

芝加哥市的枪枝暴力问题越演越烈,上个周末全市共有50人中枪、九人死亡。

Recent University of Chicago graduate shot, killed in armed robbery near campus

By WGN Web Desk

11/09/2021

CHICAGO — A recent University of Chicago graduate was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon in armed robbery near campus.

Just before 2 p.m., authorities were dispatched to the 900 block of 54th Place on the report of a shooting.

Police said a 24-year-old man was on the sidewalk when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up. A male suspect exited the vehicle and demanded the man’s property. The victim was then shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.



The vehicle was last seen fleeing westbound on 54th Place.

Around two hours earlier, the university sent out a safety notice regarding shots fired in the area of the 1500 block of East 53rd Street. Police said two local business and multiple vehicles were struck by gunfire.

As bullets flew by, Congressional candidate and founder of My Block, My Hood, My City Jahmal Cole dropped to the ground.

“I dove under the car, I ran for my life,” Cole said. “Nobody was hit but it’s traumatizing.  When you’re running for your life, that doesn’t just go away.”



Earlier this summer, a 20-year-old student from Colorado was shot while sitting on a Green Line train. Max Lewis was paralyzed, but alert in the hospital. He was taken off life support and died on July 4.

The university sent the following message to students and staff following Tuesday’s deadly shooting.

“We are working with the Chicago Police Department to gather more facts about the case, and the University of Chicago Police Department is immediately increasing patrols near campus. While we have not had any indication that this is an active incident, we encourage you to be vigilant and exercise caution.

This is devastating news for our entire community. We will keep you informed as we know more about this incident.”
