Came out from teaching in the loop today and saw around 15 cop cars, a few ambulances and a crowd of cops in a closed off downtown street. Cop shoots a guy who grabbed an old man and put a knife to his throat. Nothing new about shootings and knife crime in chicago, but you don't usually see this stuff in the loop/downtown shopping district.
