A group of Evanston friends thought it was funny when a man fell on the ice, but the situation quickly turned ugly when the fallen man drew a gun and shot one of them.
The incident occurred about 12:30 a.m. Saturday when the victim was standing outside with friends near 704 Florence in Evanston, according to a report from Evanston police.
When the group saw a man fall on the ice, they started to laugh at him, but he wasn't amused. The man pulled a gun and fired a shot, striking the victim in the ankle, the report said.
The victim was treated at a local hospital, the report said. No one else was injured.
The gunman was described only as a man wearing dark clothing.
Further information was not immediately available

This belongs in the Suburbs forum, there's enough crime in Chicago that you don't have to go to the suburbs to find stuff to post here.

What a total jerk. Who goes out on the ice with a gun?

Chalk up another argument against concealed carry... Or would that have allowed the group of friends to shoot back to "defend themselves"? Why not just have gun battles all of the time between criminals and law-abiding citizens?

Why not? The law abiding citizens would win. The criminals would be wiped out.

...since the OP is too lazy to do it and is prone to plagiarism:
