The alleged robbers sustained gunshot wounds to the head and torso, FOX News noted.

Last week, a 14-year-old Chicago boy shot and killed a man who punched his mom inside a restaurant.

Breitbart News noted the boy was initially charged with first degree murder, but the charges were dropped amid public outcry following released of surveillance video of the incident.

The Chicago Sun-Times pointed out that 299 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2023, through July 4, 2023.
