- There was a double homicide on the South Side this afternoon in the 7000 block of South Yale, apparently a domestic incident. One of the victims is believed to be the mother of Oscar winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson.
- The man accused of burglary and of stabbing a man who tried to catch him is being held on $1 million bond.
- Michael Mette, the Chicago Police Officer who spent almost a year in jail in Iowa on a controversial assault charge before being cleared, is officially back at work for the CPD.
- In an appearance in front of the City Council today, CPD Superintendent Jody Weis promised beat realignment in a move to help fight a rise in crime.
- The executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum has been placed on administrative leave after accusations of shoplifting a season 4 DVD set of House from a Springfield Target store. Honest Abe would not approve.
- And last but never least, a hearty congratulations from all of us here at Chicagoist to two of our own, former Chicagoist writers Erin and Scott, on their weekend nuptials.

well, at least he has some taste. House is a good show.
Apparently Jennifer Hudson's mother AND brother were found murdered, and her 7 year old nephew is missing; they just sent out an Amber Alert for the child and her brother's vehicle (which was taken after the murder). One scenario being bandied about is that there was some domestic violence going down between her sister and husband--and JHud's mom and brother tried to intervene with fatal results.
Horrible all around. I hope they find that little boy, and fast.
well, at least he has some taste. Erin's a good writer.
