Well this certainly takes a lot of chutzpah. A man robbed a Corner Bakery at 8:45 in the morning -- right in the middle of Terminal 1 at O'Hare. [Trib]
A Zion "father" is charged with beating his 4-month-old daughter to death -- he was apparently angry that his girlfriend had not given birth to a boy. [D-H]
A woman in Melrose Park is accused of stealing $24,000 from the town's Little League fund, and the bad headline puns commence. [Trib]
A bicyclist in Logan Square was hit by a car and killed early Sunday morning. Witnesses are saying that the cyclist "'came out of nowhere' and attempted to 'beat the light,' turning left on a yellow light in front of a Toyota Prius." [S-T]
A 65-year-old man was fatally shot outside his home on the South Side Friday night during a robbery attempt. [Trib]
That gun ban is working out great. A man is in custody after using an AK-47 automatic assault rifle during a shootout with police. The suspect allegedly used the same gun to kill another man at his South Side plumbing business. [Trib]
The violence amongst our city's teens continues: two 18-year-olds were fatally shot on the South Side, when someone jumped out of a car and fired on them as they were walking down the street. [Trib]
It was a violent weekend overall, with reports of 31 people shot and 2 stabbed. Holy shit. [S-T]
