"I was at my home and I heard gunshots," Preckwinkle said during a budget briefing. "I can confirm that there was a violent incident two weeks ago. A member of my security detail was sitting outside my home, in his police vehicle." The officer is a member of the Cook County Forest Preserve Police and was parked right outside Preckwinkle's home.
Forrest Preserve Police. Those guys are always firing their guns and rousting the gays.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person…
Please note that Preckwinkle’s DIL was recently arrested for MURDER. Her son’s been arrested multiple times too. Chicago’s crime issues hit too close to home for Toni, for the wrong reasons.

This is a dumb question but why is a Forest Preserve Police Officer providing detail to a County Board President at 8pm at her home? Do all county commissioners get this level of detail? I’ve also seen conflicting reports of whether or not the officer was on duty or not. Reeks of malfeasance. Someone should look into it.
That’s probably why it took weeks for it to come out, needed to get their story straight first.

Shush, we’ll bury this one under random shots fired! It’s only a matter of time before some local celebrity catches lead for no reason. Followed by endless crying and hand wringing. We’re better than this!

This is karma in action — Preckwinkle is one of the main reasons why carjacking is out of control:
Preckwinkle wasn’t person threatened here. Preckwinkle, and JB, and Lightfoot, and probably Foxx, all have big security details that provide cover-to-cover armed protection 24/7 at taxpayers’ expense. Easy to be a limousine liberal, with your private platoon.

Sounds like the police can use the “Cinderella Method” to crack this case wide open. Simply try the recovered Nike Air Jordan on local carjackers until they find the evil doer. Then Lil Kim can lecture the guilty party on the importance of properly tying your Jordan’s and send him on his way.
The Chicago media only reports fake or agenda advancing news. This really happened and does not help the narrative. That is why any serious person does not pay for any legacy Chicago “media”, and only supports Wirepoints, CWB Chicago and a few others.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Why was this not reported when it happened?
The Chicago media only reports fake or agenda advancing news. This really happened and does not help the narrative. That is why any serious person does not pay for any legacy Chicago “media”, and only supports Wirepoints, CWB Chicago and a few others.
Because it doesn’t fit narrative that all crime-reports are grossly exaggerated and racist.
