Chicago is in a state of emergency, we hate starting off stories like this;

A 13-year-old boy died after he was repeatedly shot as he rode his bicycle near his West Pullman home Wednesday night, police and family say.

A neighbor in the 11500 block of South Perry Avenue said he saw a gunman stand over Robert Freeman and continue firing into the boy's body shortly after 8 p.m.

'They said they found 22 holes in my baby's body,' said the boy's mother, Theresa Lumpkin as she was comforted by the boy's father in front of her house.

The boy's father said the gunman wore a mask and fired into a crowd.  'My son was the only one got hit,' said Robert Freeman Sr. 'I don't understand how no one seen anything.'

This morning, Lumpkin walked down the block to the spot where her son was killed, marked with dark red blood.
