Chicago: Two boys throw bricks at an elderly lady and get shot.

In Chicago, a 68 year old woman left her house to go shopping. She returned home to find her windows broken by thrown bricks. While she stood on her porch two boys, 12 and 13 years old, allegedly approached and began to throw bricks at her. She opened fire hitting and injuring the 12 year old. The injured alleged thuglet was taken to a hospital. According to the Chicago Police, both alleged thuglets will be charged. The elderly woman will not be charged because she was acting in self-defense.

There are conflicting accounts in the news so there may be some doubt as to what happened. The police seemed satisfied that it was self-defense. It looks like throwing bricks at an armed old lady might not be a good survival tactic.
