Well, it's certainly a good thing that Daley's ban kept them from having guns to defend themselves with. Someone might have gotten hurt if they were armed, too! Tongue

5 dead in strip mall shooting; gunman at large

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- A gunman who shot and killed five women in a clothing store at a suburban Chicago strip mall Saturday remains at large, police said.

Authorities do not know the motive for the shooting at the Lane Bryant store, said Tinley Park police Sgt. T.J. Grady. The victims' identities were not released.

Grady told reporters that a 911 call reporting the shooting came in at 10:44 a.m.

Stores in the strip mall were thoroughly searched, he said, and "it appears the offender has left the area." VideoWatch police describe the crime scene ?

Shoppers in nearby stores described a tense situation after the shooting.

"Six police entered the store with their hands on their gun holsters," said Tracy Caccavella, who was in a pet supply store across from the Lane Bryant store, according to The Associated Press.

The gunman was described as an African-American man, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing between 230 and 260 pounds, Grady said. He was wearing a waist-length black winter coat, a black cap and dark jeans.

Authorities believe there was only one shooter, Grady said.

Police appealed to the public for help, urging anyone with information to contact police at 708-444-5368.

The Chicago Tribune reported the shopping center is just south of Interstate 80 and contains a Super Target, a Kohl's clothing store and several restaurants.

And Obama, product of Daley's machine, wants a national ban on concealed carry. So we could all be like this.

That story is obviously false.  Guns and murder are both felonies in Daleystan, so this can't be.

sad thing though.
