Millennium Park security measures are in place after two teens were injured in a downtown Chicago shooting last weekend.
Pastors planned a safety walk, beginning in South Loop, after last weekend's downtown Chicago teen takeover ended in a shooting near Millennium Park.Local church leaders are calling on 500 Black men to join them in their efforts to address what they call the root problem behind these so-called teen takeovers.
"If what we saw, last weekend, is unacceptable - but, to leave it there just to say it is unacceptable is to miss the deeper, more profound matter here. That behavior comes out of something. So, I will say to people, let's turn our fear into faith," said Progressive Baptist Church Pastor Dr. Charles Dates.
Security measures are in place at Millennium Park this weekend. And, teenagers under the age of 18 will have to be accompanied by an adult at the park after 6 p.m.
