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

There a vigil for someone mere feet from this crime scene. #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.

You can watch the fireworks anywhere along the Lakefront except Adler. Chicago police are turning people and telling them to go by Shedd.

Now police are removing people from lakefront path near Shedd saying they can watch the display next to Shedd.

Folks are getting really ticked off.
