Police boss McCarthy on child's death: 'This has got to stop'

Police boss McCarthy on child's death: 'This has got to stop' - Chicago Tribune:
"Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters Sunday that a 7-year-old boy fatally shot on the West Side during the July Fourth holiday was "the unintended victim of a bullet meant for his father."
Antonio Brown, who police say is a ranking member of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang, has been arrested 45 times on charges ranging from gun possession to burglary, and is not cooperating with detectives in their investigation into the slaying of his son, Amari Brown, police said.
McCarthy said that the elder Brown's last arrest was in April for gun possession after leading police on a vehicle pursuit.
Brown was later released on bail in that case, Cook County court records show.
Amari Brown was among nine people fatally shot throughout the city since Thursday afternoon. Forty-six others were wounded by gunfire."
