Bloody Chicago: 7 wounded in laundromat shooting

Chicago needs a bigger
anti-gang zone

Even laundromats aren't safe from bloodshed in Chicago. Tonight seven South Siders--including two teens--were shot at a laundromat.

From Fox 32 Chicago:

Matthew Gills, 33, a construction worker, lives across the street from where the shooting occurred. He was at home when he heard about 19 shots.

"It's too dangerous to let my kids play around the neighborhood," Gills said.

"That's all it is is gangs. Gangs, gangs, gangs, gangs, gangs. I don't even want to be in Chicago because it's too dangerous."

Clearly the shooters didn't take heed of the #SaveChicago anti-violence hashtag.

And I'm sure many Chicagoans are like Gills and want to leave forever.

UPDATE June 3: Only six people were shot. One woman was injured when running from the laundromat.
