Police have arrested two men in connection with last night's shooting in which an innocent 9-year-old bystander, Chastity Turner, was killed while washing her dog on her grandmother's porch. Three others, including Turner's father, were also hurt in the shooting, which occurred last night around 7 p.m. in Englewood, but none of their injuries were life-threatening. Sources also tell media outlets that a weapon has been recovered and testing is underway to see if it was involved in the shooting. Earlier, sources said a green van matching the description of the one used in the shooting, believed to be gang-related, was also recovered. The Tribune and Sun-Times have more on tragic incident, including information that Turner's father is not cooperating with authorities in their investigation.
