Chicago police officials on Tuesday were bracing for gang-led retaliation for the July shooting of unarmed black teenager Paul O’Neal, with one armed group reportedly readying a sniper to pick off cops.
The heads of three notorious gangs based in the city’s crime-ridden West Side met recently to plan their revenge by targeting senior members of the Chicago Police Department, according to a report in Monday editions of The Chicago Sun-Times.
The city reportedly issued a warning to its officers to remain vigilant in light of these developments just one month after the deadly shooting spree in Dallas which killed five police officers.
Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, of Mesquite, Texas, a military veteran who’d served in Afghanistan, ambushed the officers who were on duty during a protest against police-involved killings of two detained African-American civilians in Louisiana and Minnesota.
According to the report, the meeting in Chicago was held on Thursday between the leadership of the gangs Vice Lords, Black Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers.
