For those living on the East Garfield Park block where 14 were shot, guns and violence are a daily ordeal – Chicago Sun-Times

The block of three-flats where 14 people were shot Monday night is so rife with violence that drivers have been seen throwing their cars into reverse down the one-way street after being waved away at gunpoint. “A group of young kids on the east end of the block stand in the street and pull guns out and won’t let you pass,” said a person who’s familiar with the 2700 block of West Flournoy Street in East Garfield Park. When the police come, they get yelled at and spit on.
