ALERT: Cops shoot child tonight in Cabrini

Residents on the ground began reporting around 6:30 PM tonight that Chicago police had shot a youth in the housing complex.
At least one eyewitness reported the victim's age as around 8 years old, but this is unconfirmed.

Another eyewitness reportedly stated that an officer "unloaded a clip" in the youth's stomach, but this is also unconfirmed.

Residents are asking concerned neighbors to join them in the public area of the housing complex to secure the crime scene and prevent police intimidation of witnesses.

For more information from the ground, and about the exact location of community support, contact Beauty Turner at 773-297-5619.

CIMC will update this report as new information becomes available.
