8-Year-Old Girl Shot Inside Gresham Home, Police Say

CHICAGO (WLS) — An 8-year-old girl was injured Sunday afternoon after being shot inside a South Side home, according to Chicago police.

The incident occurred just before 2 p.m. in the 1400-block of West 83rd Street in the Gresham neighborhood.

Authorities said the child was struck in the finger and was transported to Christ Hospital, where she was listed in good condition.

Details surrounding what led up to the shooting remain unclear. Police have not said whether the girl was the intended target or if the gunfire came from inside or outside the residence.

Neighbors expressed alarm over yet another case of gun violence impacting children. “It’s heartbreaking. Kids should be safe in their own homes, not caught up in this,” one resident told ABC7 off camera.

The shooting adds to a troubling wave of violence across Chicago during the summer and early fall, with police reporting dozens of children struck by gunfire in recent months. Community leaders have repeatedly called for more intervention programs, neighborhood patrols, and stronger efforts to get illegal guns off the streets.

As of Sunday evening, no one was in custody. The investigation has been turned over to Area Two detectives, who are working to piece together the circumstances of the shooting.

Police have urged anyone with information to come forward.

Charlie Kirk Funeral Draws Over 200,000 to Arizona Stadium as Trump, Vance and Others Speak

More than 200,000 people packed State Farm Stadium and nearby venues Sunday for a memorial service honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on Sept. 10. Thousands more waited outside in the heat; many had arrived before dawn to secure spots or parked miles away and walked to the site.

The somber, heavily attended event featured high-profile speakers including President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk. Remarks ranged from heartfelt tributes to rousing political calls, reflecting Kirk’s influence in conservative youth politics.

Moments of levity broke through the grief: Donald Trump Jr. elicited laughter with a spot-on impersonation of his father, lightening the mood briefly for the packed audience. In a more reflective moment, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled a conversation with Kirk about fear and conviction, saying, “Charlie died with his boots on,” and framing Kirk’s death in the context of his public mission.

Organizers and security officials said the event was a major logistical undertaking, designated a high-level federal security event, with Secret Service and local agencies coordinating to protect attendees. TPUSA helped manage on-site arrangements; thousands filled the stadium while overflow crowds watched in adjacent arenas and outdoor viewing areas.

Speakers and attendees repeatedly called for unity among supporters while condemning political violence. As the service concluded, many lingered at the memorials and makeshift shrines outside the venue, leaving flowers and messages in tribute to Kirk’s memory.

Bernie Parent, Legendary Hall of Fame Goaltender, Dies at 80

The hockey world is mourning the loss of Bernie Parent, the Hall of Fame goaltender who helped define an era for the Philadelphia Flyers. Parent, 80, passed away this week, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history.

Parent’s career spanned 13 seasons, with his most iconic years coming in the mid-1970s when he led the Flyers to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975. Known for his lightning-fast reflexes, calm demeanor under pressure, and signature butterfly style, Parent won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender twice and also captured the Conn Smythe Trophy both years as playoff MVP.

Before his time with the Flyers, Parent also played for the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs. His career was tragically cut short in 1979 after a severe eye injury, yet his influence on the game endured. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984.

Beyond the rink, Parent was beloved for his engaging personality, community involvement, and connection with fans. He often spoke at charity events, signed autographs well into his later years, and remained a fixture in the Flyers’ alumni community.

Bernie Parent’s passing marks the end of an era for Philadelphia hockey fans and for the sport at large. His skill, sportsmanship, and championship pedigree made him a legend. He will be remembered as both an extraordinary goaltender and a cherished ambassador for the game of hockey.

Family Demands Justice After Boy Struck, Killed Outside Chicago School

CHICAGO — Heartbreak and outrage are mounting after 9-year-old Anakin Perez was struck and killed outside McNair Elementary School on Chicago’s West Side. The tragedy happened Thursday morning as students were arriving for class. According to police and family members, Anakin was crossing the street toward the school when he was hit by a car driven by another parent.

She was questioned and released without charges, sparking anger and frustration from Anakin’s family, who say accountability is urgently needed. His mother, Alejandra Gallegos, said through tears that her son was “full of life” and deserved to make it safely into school.

Community members have since gathered at the site, creating a growing memorial of balloons, flowers, and handwritten notes. A vigil and balloon release were held in Anakin’s honor, drawing neighbors, classmates, and advocates calling for justice and safer school zones.

Local leaders and parents are urging Chicago Public Schools and the city to provide more crossing guards, signage, and “safe passage” staff to protect children walking to and from school. CPS officials confirmed that grief counselors are on campus to support students and staff processing the loss.

As the investigation continues, Anakin Perez’s loved ones say they will not stop until there is accountability. “It’s not OK,” one family member said. “We want justice for Anakin.”
