1. Unfortunately, more likely to get attention than the many South and West Side

mass shootings.

2. Like a war zone in parts of Chicago, on a near-daily basis, unless I'm

somehow misunderstanding the situation. I've only driven through the outskirts of the city on the interstates, and I'm not likely to do anything different in the near future--doesn't sound safe.

3. Most shootings in Chicago

Are not in the Loop, Lincoln Park, Andersonville, Wrigleyville areas. Very unusual, which I suppose, is why it’s news. I live about 20 minutes away from downtown and I’ve really never felt afraid. Much of the city is very safe, it’s only in the gang infested neighborhoods where it is a constant threat. Even in those neighborhoods they are not likely to target you.
