Two teens were shot and 15 people were arrested Saturday night in the Loop after crowds flooded the streets.
Chicago Loop Alliance, an organization that manages and promotes programs that attract people to the loop, said they are saddened by the events that occurred Saturday evening.
“Our Chicago Loop Alliance ambassadors and unarmed security remained vigilant of the situation throughout the night. While this is not a frequent occurrence in the Loop, we are prepared to work with all relevant partners and parties in response to when these trends are detected,” Michael Edwards, President and CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance, said.
Former Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson suggested ways police can handle the situation.
“We have to get together as a city,” Johnson said. “We have to understand we have to hold people accountable. Seen in too many years, as a city and as a legislation.”
