Gunfire shuts down popular Chicago beach hours after opening for the season

 beach was closed hours after it opened for the summer season when shots were fired during a large brawl on Friday, according to police.

The fight broke out among a group of 80 to 100 feral children at North Avenue Beach around 1:30 p.m., police said.

During the fracas, someone pulled out a gun and fired a shot, Fox 32 reported.

Fortunately, no one was struck. A juvenile was taken into police custody.

The weapon has not been recovered, cops said.

The beach was temporarily shut down as police investigated.

#2  I am surprised that this happened at the North Avenue Beach. It is on the north side, which has been regarded as fairly safe. But I guess Chicago is now having trouble containing the violence. Look out, Lakefront Liberals who pride yourselves on your progressive voting patterns--this is getting quite close to your stomping grounds.
