Another day another shooting in Chicago: 5 Teens Shot While Waiting For Bus On South Side, no protest march planned by Jesse Jackson yet

I think it would be big international news if a day went by without anybody getting shot in Chicago.

CBS Chicago reports five teens were shot Friday afternoon while waiting for a bus in the South Shore neighborhood on the South Side.

Three ambulances were sent to the shooting scene at 79th Street and Jeffery at about 3:30 p.m. According to the CTA, the victims had been waiting to board a bus there.

The victims ranged in age from 16 to 17, the Chicago Fire Department reported via Twitter. One gunshot victim, a male, was transported in critical condition to Stroger, along with a female patient. Two other victims were taken to Northwestern and South Shore Hospital, where a fifth gunshot victim walked in for treatment.
