5 injured in Bronzeville shooting, police say
Five people were injured, one seriously, in a shooting Monday afternoon in the Bronzeville neighborhood, authorities said. Police officers responded to a call of a person shot at the 700 block of East 43rd Street just before 3:30 p.m. and found five victims had been struck by gunfire, Chicago police said. A woman in her 60s was shot in the right leg and transported to UChicago Medicine in serious condition, according to a preliminary police notification. Four others were injured in the shooting, including a 35-year-old man who was shot in the arm, a 39-year-old man who was shot in the arm, a 44-year-old man who was shot in the foot and a 72-year-old woman who was shot in the shoulder, police said. The four victims were transported to UChicago Medicine, where they were listed in good condition, police said. Charles Nelson had just gotten out the door on his way to a concert in Millennium Park Monday afternoon when gunfire exploded up his South Side block. Nelson, 71, got down to the ground and waited through what he estimated was a full minute of shooting. When he got up again, almost 40 shell casings lay in the street and five people had been wounded. Nelson, wearing a shirt that read 'Bronzeville: The Musical,' said he and his neighbors had been complaining to local leaders about shooting and other hazards between Langley and Cottage Grove avenues for years. No one was in custody and no other offender information was immediately available as of Monday afternoon, as Wentworth area detectives investigated, police said. The shooting comes after thirteen people were shot, two fatally, on the West Side in what appeared to be separate incidents early Sunday morning. The fatalities included an 18-year-old, identified by the Cook County medical examiner's office as Kaleb Williams, and a 22-year-old woman whose identity had not been released as of mid-afternoon Monday.

Former New York Giants RB found guilty in record-breaking dog-fighting operation
Former New York Giants running back LeShon Johnson has been found guilty in the largest federal dog-fighting case in American history. Johnson faced 21 charges after having 190-plus dogs seized from him in Oklahoma last year, the most ever from a single person in a dogfighting case. Ultimately, he was found guilty on six felony counts for violating the federal Animal Welfare Act's prohibitions against possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals to be used for fighting. Although sentencing is pending, Johnson faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count, potentially totaling 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in penalties. "This criminal profited off of the misery of innocent animals and he will face severe consequences for his vile crimes," Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. "This case underscores the Department of Justice's commitment to protecting animals from abuse -- 190 dogs are now safe thanks to outstanding collaborative work by our attorneys and law enforcement components." During the trial, evidence was presented that Johnson bred and trafficked dogs for his fighting ring under the guise of a "sound foundation," Mal Kant Kennels. At M K Kennels we strive to build a sound foundation of American Pit Bull Terriers. We have studied the blood of the past and present to help create the dog of the future. Our goal is to produce all around physically correct athletes that will succeed in multiple working events as well as in the show ring. And we believe that we have done just that, producing the future of many yards to come. We would like you to be a part of our dogs future. We breed for the future with the past in mind. We have some of the best MAYDAY/BOLIO/ LUTHER dogs around. We also use other bloodlines to add a little something if we feel we are lacking a trait. In other words we don't discriminate. "The FBI will not stand for those who perpetuate the despicable crime of dogfighting," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. "Thanks to the hard work of our law enforcement partners, those who continue to engage in organized animal fighting and cruelty will face justice." The 54-year-old Johnson previously pleaded guilty to state animal fighting charges in 2004. Johnson was a third-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 1994 NFL draft. He also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals before joining the Giants in 1998. He missed that season after being diagnosed with lymphoma but returned to start in 1999. In 62 career games (12 starts), Johnson rushed for 955 yards and five touchdowns.

Driver caught with provisional licence that expired 41 years ago
Police seized a vehicle after discovering the driver had been using a provisional licence that expired decades ago, while conducting safety checks in Nelson and Blackburn. During the checks, 12 motorists were given tickets for not wearing seat belts. One was given a ticket for having illegally tinted windows, allowing only 28 per cent of light through. Legally, the front windscreen must let at least 75 per cent of light through and the front side windows must let at least 70 per cent of light through. The driver was adamant they were legal but a police device, that checks window tint levels, said otherwise. One vehicle was also seized due to the driver having an expired provisional licence. It expired more than 41 years ago. A police spokesperson said: 'Sergeant Dave, Rob and myself conducted a couple road safety checkpoints in Nelson then Blackburn. '12 motorists were given tickets for not wearing seat belts. 'One was given a ticket for illegally tinted windows, allowing only 28 per cent of light through. The driver was adamant that they were legal, our approved device says otherwise. 'Lastly, one vehicle was seized under S.165 of the Road Traffic Act due to the driver having an expired provisional licence. It expired over 41 years ago.'
