"Every time I read and hear about another life that is lost because of violence, my heart breaks," Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said at a news conference on Monday. "Fifteen-year-olds, 14-year-olds, you all know I'm raising children in Chicago. It hurts." "They literally stopped where they were at, opened fire on them, didn't care about the kids being around or nothing. And, by the grace of God, no kids get hit," Ross' wife, Kandace Ross, said. "They didn't care about nothing or nobody because there were kids out there. There were women out there, there were grandmas, anybody. They just came and just shot it up just so they can, I don't know, brag about it.
