Blacks in Chicago really know how to celebrate Mother's Day, betting none of them had their guns legally, but hey Chicago's strict gun laws keep guns out of the hands of good citizens, at least that's something.
•A 34-year-old woman was shot in the side around 4:30 a.m. in the 200 block of West Garfield. The woman was exiting a business on the block when an armed offender approached her and shot her in the lower left side. The woman was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition. Area Central detectives are investigating.
•About an hour earlier, a 26-year-old man was shot in the eye in the 3600 block of North Ashland Avenue, in the North Side's Lakeview neighborhood.
