Another shooting in a public space, and it’s concerning to hear about the number of shell casings found at the scene—62 is a high number, which suggests this was a particularly intense exchange of gunfire. Thankfully, the 43-year-old man was shot in the ankle, so it seems like his injuries might not be life-threatening, but it’s still alarming that this took place in a parking lot in such a populated area like Jewel-Osco.

The fact that there were so many shell casings indicates that it could have been an ambush or a targeted attack, and it’s lucky that no one else was hit, especially with the potential for bystanders to get caught in the crossfire. The presence of the police and the ongoing investigation will hopefully lead to some answers, but situations like this raise serious concerns about safety in public spaces, particularly in cities like Chicago, where gun violence has been a long-standing issue.
