Go Cubbies :thumbsup



CHICAGO -- A 26-year-old man was gunned down in the street near Wrigley Field after watching the Cubs play on Thursday.


Frank Hernandez was shot about 90 minutes after the Cubs beat the Diamondbacks 11-3.


Authorities say the incident started when Hernandez was cut off by two men in a SUV as he was crossing an intersection near Wrigley at about 6 p.m.


Police say Hernandez hit the SUV with a miniature baseball bat and then broke the souvenir over the driver's head when the driver got out of the vehicle. Police say that's when the SUV's passenger got out and shot Hernandez in the upper abdomen.


Hernandez collapsed on the sidewalk. Paramedics performed CPR, but Hernandez was later pronounced dead at Illinois Masonic Medical Center.


"He went to the Cubs game, and he was just waiting, got out and right there he got shot," a friend of the Hernandez family told the Chicago Sun-Times as he sat crying outside the hospital emergency room. "He told me, 'I'm gonna see the Cubs today. I'll go and see my buddies.'"


According to the Sun-Times, two Chicago police officers who were parked in a squad car half a block away saw the fight break out and were watching in their rear-view mirror as Hernandez was shot.


Witnesses told the newspaper that police took several men into custody almost immediately.


Hernandez had attended the game with best friend Brad Wallace Jr.


"From what I've heard, they were crossing the street," Margaret Wallace, Brad's mother, told the Sun-Times. "There was a fight behind them. My son got to the curb and turned around. He heard two pops and went to talk to Frankie, and he was on the ground."


Chicago police sergeant Robert Cargie says two men remain in custody in connection with the shooting but no charges have been filed.

People always fucking with each other...you never know who you might be fucking with.

That is just so sad. You just don't know when your life
will be over.

is that the same guy who caught the ball last season?

It just shows us how short life is. :(

that sucks, probably a sox fan
hope no one gets capped tomorrow, just scored some bleacher tix against the rockies

Nice, Drink an old style for me :thumbsup

If some prick hit me upside the head with a baseball bat and I had a gun I would shoot his punk ass too.
:BangBang:

wow thats fucked... but I guess he learned his lesson didnt he...

I don't know the circumstances here, but if some dude had one of those minature bats in his hand and smacked the hood of the car, then attempted to smacked the driver in the head. The dude that shot him has every right to claim self defense. :2 cents:

my friend was at the game. but she didnt hear/see anything. oh, and her bro works with steve bartman [the guy who caught the ball last season]. strict orders at the office that NO ONE can talk about the 'incident'.

Haha no he doesnt have a claim for self defense, he could have stayed in the car and driven off.

life is fragile

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh for the greatest ballpark on the planet, i still dont get why oldstyle is the beer of choice.

Ewww

I dunno why people fuck with each other for no reason ...

I was in the club with my friend . A slut that we know came up and gave him a beer (the club was giving away a free beer on entrance). He gave it back to the girl cauz he didn't like Bud Lite and the slut's BF started shit with him . The guy is a asian that did a lot of kong fu and shit ... anyways things always turn out bad for no fucking reason

That is one sad news. :(

And they say the Southside is bad


I'll be at at the Cubs game on May 21st with GreenGuy. Look for us on TV.
(Or on the News after the game.)

gotta watch who u fuck with

gotta hurt

"Shot to death" = means nothing by the way

It sounds to me like the car almost ran them over to begin with..

All I'm saying is he Will claim self defense. What else are you gonna do?

Means nothing?? It means the guy is Dead.

that's sad but another reminder that you should mind your biz

Shit gets out of hand real quick.
If I accidently cut someone off or ALMOST hit them and they smoked my car with a bat, you can be damn sure I would be getting out and confronting them aswell. If he went after me with the bat, well I dunno.
It sounds like everyone involved overreacted. Atleast only one person ended up dead.
