Metro police later said five juveniles will be charged in Yorlet's murder after they were taken into custody at the Walmart on Charlotte Pike. They have been booked into juvenile detention. 

The supects include three girls, ages 15, 14 and 12, and two boys, ages 16 and 13. 

A gun was recovered as was a stolen car in the Walmart parking lot, according to Metro police.

Reuters has it as 5 dead as of now plus the shooter.  He was a recently laid off employee. 

 

edit:  Reading elsewhere that he was a convicted felon, so not able to legally own a gun.

 

 

He had a FOID card and was denied a permit. Illinois law does not require guns to be confiscated after FOID is revoked.

Then what is the point of a FOID card? No LEO wants to be tasked with confiscating weapons. The supply of weapons in Chicago obviously isn't being impacted. Passing laws we have no will to enforce just to appease the public only creates more problems.

 

This is why I'm skeptical of legislative solutions. Over and over again it seems to be a failure of enforcement.

There needs to be laws that pertain to the entire country. Having John live under one set of laws,

while Joe lives under an entirely different set of laws, and having pro NRA laws where FOID cards 

can be revoked, but guns are not confiscated is the problem.

I just skimmed the story but there's some stuff missing.  Why did a SWAT team show up to serve a warrant to the mayor for stitching up someone's ankle without a license?  

 

 

There is definitely more going on here than they're willing to talk about.
