A teenage girl who was shot in the chest in a Chicago neighborhood Friday night is now facing an attempted robbery charge after officials said she tried to rob a woman she was meeting for a sale.
The Chicago Police Department said in a news release on Saturday the incident happened around 5:45 p.m. in the city's Little Village neighborhood, when 21-year-old Araceli Diaz met with the 14-year-old girl after the teenager arranged the meeting to buy a dog.
Diaz was subsequently arrested in Cicero about an hour after the shooting and charged with unlawful use of a weapon, according to police.

How can lawful self-defense be "unlawful use of a weapon"?
The charge should be CCW without a valid permit. Just like Bernard Goetz, she carried unlawfully but used it lawfully. He was convicted on the carry charge, but acquitted on the more serious felony.
This is nonsense. |
