GARRETT TENNEY: Five gang members back on the streets after the Cooke County state’s attorney chose not to file any charges in a Friday shootout that was captured on a city surveillance camera.
After two vehicles pulled up to the west-side home, you can witness the gun battle that broke out. A group of four people armed with semi-automatic fully-automatic guns opened fire on members from a rival gang. In the time it took two squad cars for to arrive, more than 70 shots were exchanged between the groups. One person died, two were injured. Five were arrested. And zero were charged.
Lori Lightfoot, Chicago’s mayor, is requesting answers from Kim Foxx (Cook County State’s Attorney).
MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT, D: It’s not okay to give the message that shooting up residences in broad daylight is OK. You will be filmed on film and there won’t be any consequences. This is not the world we want to live in.
TENNEY – Kim Foxx claims her office could not bring charges against her because no witnesses were willing to cooperate and her video evidence was insufficient.
STATE’s ATTORNEY KIM FOXX (Cook County): Our number one concern should be about getting those people prosecuted. This headline is not intended to distract from the fact we do not have a plan in place for violence in Chicago.

ROBERT BIANCHI These are known gang members. They are known to be capable of serious violence. As you’re building a case against them, it is important to get them on every possible charge.
