Welcome to Chicago.
Where it’s so violent that preachers shoot preachers.
(CBS) — An 80-year-old retired preacher was fatally shot early Monday, and neighbors say the suspect who killed him is also a retired preacher.
The two may have been arguing about religion, CBS 2’s Jeremy Ross reports.
Chicago police say they have a person in custody in connection with the death, which occurred at the Senior Suites of Rainbow Beach in the South Shore neighborhood early Monday.
Police say the 80-year-old victim was shot in the face and died. Investigators said the suspect, who uses a motorized wheelchair, fired one shot, then moved closer and fired several more.
At least Chicago Police were able to solve this one, but that’s probably because the “Senior Suites” isn’t ruled by the “no snitch” culture. And they have video surveillance.
I see they have vacancy at this joint. Two rooms, probably. I mean, if it weren’t for the pistol-packing pastor wheeling around in his motor scooter, who else is going to shoot fellow residents? But then again, talk about nothing to lose! What, are they going to take away his scooter for the rest of his life? Please.
Once again, the local news didn’t release any useful information. Not even their names? Did he try to escape on the motorized chair?
The compassionate part of me wants to hope it was a case of assisted suicide. But, in Chiraq, who knows?
do you reckon it was a drive-by shooting
Proof there are things you should not discuss, politics and Religion. They had a disagreement about Religion.
Yes he did speed away on his power chair.
There has to be a “No Guns” sign on that place. I guess Pastor Blaster ignored it. Shame on him for setting a bad example for all the Banger Boys. Now they’ll be breaking the same law.
Was the motorized “preacher” perhaps preaching about BLM religion and the 80 year old preacher disagreed and got shot because of his beliefs and views of things that are wrong in this society?
