Reporting on Crime in Chicago is a Dangerous Business

You can get robbed in the process.

A Chicago television news crew reporting on a string of robberies ended up robbed themselves after they were accosted at gunpoint by three armed men wearing ski masks.

Spanish-language station Univision Chicago said a reporter and photographer were filming just before 5 a.m. Monday in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood when three masked men brandishing firearms robbed them, taking their television camera and other items.

Too bad they had no footage of them being robbed. That would be a global story.

  1. They were keeping the shooting in the stadium where the White Sox play pretty quiet. Nice folks them White Sox. Shooting happened in 4th inning and they just kept playing. Didn't announce it either. Originally believed to be from outside, now it's thought those involved may have brought a gun into park. Just checked and the gun was snuck into park via the woman's belly fat and it was an AD (accidental discharge). Geez !

    Chicago, that toddling town, that won't let you down.
