The gunman who killed Starkesia Reed last week as she stood near a living-room window used a high-powered assault weapon that sprayed 29 rounds and hit seven other houses on the block, police said.
"Sprayed" 29 rounds.
Out of their "bullet hose" no doubt.
God, reporters are idiots.
That Chicago gun control sure is working, isn't it?

It won't be long before Mayor Daley copycats Boston bureaucrats and blames neighboring states (ie Indiana) for their lax gun laws and inability to stop the flow of illegal guns into Chicago. Just wait.
There are so many factors that contributed to the needless death of these girls. To blame the type of weapon is merely a political stunt to put heat on an opponent and deflect criticism from far more obvious factors.
Failure to control gangs.
Failure to control drugs.
Failure to enforce existing gun laws.
Failure to control poverty in this community.
Failure of this community to report criminals and gang bangers in these areas.
Glorification of thug life role models.
Unhealthy family values.
Promulgation of gang life and indoctrination of youth by close kin.
Fear of gang reprisal.
Lack of enforcement of housing laws.
Failure to provide rehabilitation of released criminals.
Reliance on government aid programs.
Unstable educational environment causing an inability to learn.
To blame the type of weapon is analogous to blaming the shark’s teeth for attacking the diver. Although the teeth do the damage, there are many more important factors which caused the attack
