four people get out and start shooting into a home where members of a rival gang were. the people in the house shot back. two squad cars pulled up. one person died, two others injured. five people arrested and zero were charged. that decision was baffling to mayor lori lightfoot and city alderman who are asking kim foxx for an explanation and warning this kind of decision could embolden criminals and make chicago s violence problem even worse. given what we saw that was on videotape with officers on the scene and not a single person has been charged. we cannot send a message that it is okay and you get a pass that you shoot up a residence in broad daylight captured on film and no consequences will happen for you. that can t be a world we live in.
australians didn t do a good enough job and surprising to me the united states didn t know that. bill: kerry said the quiet part out loud, right? just to underscore this, a $40 billion contract is what france thought they had locked up. dana: they re mad. bill: yes, they are. we ll see what blinken and others can do. dana: their ambassador is in the united states. bill: mayor lori lightfoot blasting kim foxx to refuse to bring charges against a shooting caught on video. what happened here? this shooting was a giant shoot-out that took place in the middle of the day if broad daylight. the whole thing was caught on city surveillance camera. a massive shoot-out with more than 70 shots fired. the video is shaky but you can see two cars pull up to a house on the city s west side friday.
kim foxx is firing back accusing the mayor of pointing fingers to distract that lightfoot doesn t have a plan to address the city s violence. they couldn t bring charges because witnesses wouldn t cooperate and video wasn t enough. in the press without the benefit of all of the evidence does a disservice to the community who has been impacted by this violence. statements made by the mayor yesterday regarding the evidence in this case that simply weren t true. mayor lightfoot says she is asking federal prosecutors to get involved and look at the evidence as well. the bottom line right now is we had a massive shoot-out in broad daylight that was caught on camera and all five gang members who were arrested are now back out on the street. bill. bill: thanks, garrett tenney we re watching that story in
