A man opened fire at a Halloween party in Chicago, shooting 15 people and critically injuring two, Illinois police told news outlets.

A witness said the man was denied entry to the Halloween party as the DJ announced it was ending, WBBM reported. “They told him he couldn’t come in, and he must have gone to his car and come back and started shooting,” Andre Williams told the TV station.

As a Chicagoan, this sadly isn’t “news”, because it isn’t new/novel/different/anything other than ordinary dumbass behavior by the local yeetbois

Why is this news? This happens every day, get over it

  Well that just happens in the US, just like a car crash. It's sad but it is what it is and it's not going to change
