Two wounded in Chicago on Dan Ryan Expressway, outbound lanes closed

Last month Father Michael Pfleger led a protest that illegally blocked all of the lanes of the Dan Ryan Expressway on Chicago's South Side.

Early this morning the southbound lanes were closed by state police after passengers in an SUV were shot in a driveby shooting on the Ryan.

From CBS 2 Chicago:
The outbound lanes of the Dan Ryan Expressway were shut down for nearly six hours Monday morning, after two people were shot while driving near Garfield.

Police said a white GMC Arcadia was heading south in the Dan Ryan express lanes near Garfield around 1:15 a.m., when a black car pulled up alongside, and someone inside started shooting.
The GMC pulled over on the left shoulder under the Garfield overpass. Police said two driver and one passenger were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Three other passengers were not wounded.

The black car sped off south on the Dan Ryan after the shooting.

Hey, in complete disobeyance of the point you're trying to make... your lovely better half is Latvian right? I think I recall that. Can you ask her what this means, "A Veco Nera!!"

It's from a lyrics translation site and I know Veco is old but not sure about the meaning. Feel free to delete this brother.

Keep up the good work too.
