Neighbors say a Chicago man charged with killing a 9-year-old girl was upset over noise

A Chicago man has been charged with first-degree murder after witnesses say a 9-year-old girl riding a scooter was fatally shot by someone upset over noise. Chicago police say the charge was filed Monday against 43-year-old Michael Goodman. The Chicago Sun-Times reports neighbors say the man was upset over noise. The shooting happened Saturday night in Chicago’s Portage Park neighborhood. Police say the gunman was tackled by the girl’s father after the shooting and shot during a struggle. He was taken to a hospital. Goodman was in custody Monday but was not listed in online Cook County court records and an attorney for him could not be located to comment on the case.

What do you do? As a parent what do you fucking do? How do you protect your kids from this?? What are we supposed to do? Tell them not to leave the house??

I’m in fucking tears, both for this little girl and her family and friends, and because I literally do not know how to protect my daughter from this.

Stand over outdoor playtime with a gun? Trauma Refuse to let kids play outside anymore? Trauma

My kid has already been shooting adjacent once in her life, and that list of kids grows and grows every year. Kids shot, kids siblings shot, kids friends shot, kids on lockdown because there’s a shooting in the school, near the school, shootings in Walmarts, now they can’t play in their front yards or ring the wrong doorbell by mistake.

The fuck, you guys? Thanks for listening so I could get that out of my system before my kid sees my face.

Leave that shit hole of a country and move elsewhere. Somewhere more safe and developed, like all of Europe.

The problem with that is the cost involved. Not everybody has the money or has the means to just up and go somewhere else.

I am aware. Not to mention the societal cost of uprooting your entire family, probably loosing your social circle, potentially moving to a country whose language you don’t speak, etc etc.

Cost isn’t the only issue with something like that.
