My earlier estimations were off thers maybe around 3000-5000 people at Union park currently, the last time I've seen this park this full was the last time I covered North Coast Music Festival. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
Now crossing the Division St. Bridge continuing eastbound some folks were a little hesitant and nervous about the gratting that makes up the bridge. #Chicago#ChicagoProtest
Horse cops are out near Halsted and Division, horses all have eye shields. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests

Chicago police are on scene for two people shot including 1 fatally in the 6200 block of South Artesian. #Chicago#ChicagoScanner
The shooting appears to have taken place in front of the Premium Good & Liquor corner store. The sign itself appears to have bullet holes in it. #Chicago#ChicagoScanner
For those looking to photograph Fireworks tonight follow these easy steps and you should get pretty good results (the steps mentioned will apply to consumer grade to professional DSLR's and Mirrorless cameras with manual settings). #FourthofJuly
First you will need the following.
- A DSLR or Mirrorless Camera capable of manual controls.
- A Tripod
- A cable release, or a wireless cable release, or app control of the camera using your phone.
Next get into location and set up your camera on the tripod and frame your image. I would recommend getting to the location as early as possible to get the best spot to frame your photos, and so you have a little light left to compose your images.
June as a month in Chicago had it's highest highs and it's lowest lows, but one thing that can be said about June was that for better or worse things are returning to normal in Chicago. #Chicago
