Four men were arrested in Chicago yesterday after allegedly resisting arrest as police tried to disperse an over-capacity video shoot for a rap song, authorities said. "Officers formulated a plan and made entry into the building where individuals streamed out of the building, pushing and fighting police, discarding weapons as they fled."Think that sort of malevolence doesn't happen here?
"A systematic search of the building yielded a total of 24 handguns and one semi-automatic, short barrel rifle."
Airbnb, which thanked the police department for "getting illegal weapons off the street," has been trying to combat the use of its short-term rental service for so-called "party houses."
Think again...
Mississauga • Another music video filmed at the location last week is believed to have motivated the attack, McCord said, adding that “information within that rap video that is challenging other people within the community.”Final tally • One dead 17 year-old & five others in hospital.
More than 100 shell casings have been recovered from the area so far.
