“Area residents, commuters, and others simply must have the peace of mind that this highly trafficked area is safe, and it is time for more specific, concrete steps to be taken to address this area once and for all,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot said.

Two people were killed and eight people were wounded in a mass shooting late Thursday blocks from Michigan Avenue amid a continuing surge in violence downtown.One person was in custody in connection with the incident, which started as a fight among a group of teens around 10:30 p.m. near the Chicago Avenue station on the CTA Red Line outside a McDonald’s restaurant, officials said. A gun was recovered, according to a statement from the Chicago Police Department.
Blood still stained the sidewalk outside the CTA station Friday morning, as commuters rushed to work.“Area residents, commuters, and others simply must have the peace of mind that this highly trafficked area is safe, and it is time for more specific, concrete steps to be taken to address this area once and for all,” Lightfoot said.
Lightfoot said she would order Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown to “install a fixed post of uniformed officers at the intersection of State and Chicago and a separate fixed post in the Red Line station in the same area.”that there were “already supposed to have fixed posts in place at Chicago & State.”
“The daily excuses coming out of the superintendent’s office insult intelligence & are infuriating,” Reilly said. “City Council needs to step-in & demand accountability. Their strategy is failing us miserably.”, and less than a week after a 16-year-old boy was murdered near The Bean sculpture.
