While police released a suspect in last week's Lincoln Park attacks, they've arrested a fourth teen connected to a trio of attacks that happened late Sunday night into early Monday morning. The Sun-Times reports 17-year-old Courtney Andrews has been charged with two counts of vehicular hijacking and two counts of armed robbery. She's charged, along with three teenage boys, in a carjacking in Rogers Park late Sunday night and a pair of violent mugging attacks in Roscoe Village several hours later. The Trib talked to one of the Roscoe Village mugging victims yesterday, who said, "I can't forgive them. Only God can forgive them."

In another outbreak of violence, at least 15 people were injured in a spate of shootings overnight. The most violent of those happened in East Garfield Park where seven were injured in one shooting. According to a Chicago Breaking News report:

Police are searching for two men considered "armed and dangerous" who "are believed to be responsible for a string of armed robberies and carjackings in the south suburbs over the past week."

Remember the thrill of warming up the car for your parents before you were old enough to drive? It's exciting just to sit behind the wheel, cranking the heat and cursing the cold. You know. Unless you get carjacked.
