Three shot at funeral for anti-violence advocate

Yesterday afternoon, in the Roseland neighbourhood on the south side of Lori Lightfoot's Chicago, a funeral service was being held at the Universal Community Missionary Baptist Church. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, three of the mourners, who had posed for a photo outside the church, were wounded when someone inside a grey sedan drove by and opened fire.

A 20-year-old man was shot in the abdomen, a 37-year-old man was shot in the thigh and a 25-year-old man was shot in the back. According to the cops, all three were transported to local hospitals "in good condition". 

Kareem House, who witnessed the shooting, told the newspaper the funeral was that of his cousin, Mike Nash, an anti-violence activist who had died of a heart attack. There's a lesson there somewhere. Maybe there should be yet another law, this one prohibiting the discharge of firearms at or in the vicinity of funerals. Of course that would ban the traditional Jamaican salute, but it would mean Mr Nash's death wouldn't have been in vain. Right?
