About 45 minutes later, Powell’s group allegedly accosted a woman trying to withdraw money at a drive-thru ATM on East 95th Street. Powell is accused of ordering the woman to open her driver’s side door, but she was too close to the machine to open it, according to prosecutors. When the woman reversed her vehicle to comply with the request, Powell allegedly fired a shot that exited the dashboard, shattering glass.

Onesti thanked police several times for protecting property during the 2020 summer unrest in response to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. He also talked about Marco DiFranco, an Italian American officer who died of COVID-19 complications last summer. Onesti presented John Catanzara, president of the Chicago FOP, with a Marco DiFranco Hero Award, in honor of the group of officers who guarded the Columbus statue at Grant Park on July 17, 2020, when demonstrators tried to remove it.

“I’ll go by something I’ve learned to trust, which is (Charlotte manager) Wes Helms’ reports every time someone comes up from Charlotte, it’s right on, whether it’s a player or a pitcher,” La Russa said. “And he reports that Eloy is moving well in the outfield, so I think we have the freedom to probably just get really close with (head athletic trainer) Dr. (James) Kruk here and see what’s best.

Three men were injured in a shooting in the East Garfield Park neighborhood around 12:45 p.m. Sunday, police said. The men were standing outside in the 3200 block of West Lake Street when they were shot at by someone in a vehicle. One man, 30, was struck in the leg and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition.

Cohen’s numbers fell off the following season when he had just 669 yards from scrimmage despite recording 79 catches and 64 carries. Before his ACL injury last season, he had 14 carries for 74 yards and six receptions for 41 yards. The Bears signed him to a three-year, $17.25 million contract extension a week before his knee injury occurred.

Details of the shooting were widely circulated because it happened just three blocks away and about 10 minutes before another shooting in which five people were wounded. That attack, in the 1400 block of South Ridgeway Avenue, left four teenagers wounded, ages 14, 15, 17 and 18, as well as a 22-year-old man. All of those victims were expected to survive, including the 15-year-old boy who was an innocent bystander who was shot while seated in his father’s vehicle, police have said.

“The coolest thing that I saw is the group were always staying together, always trying,” Bote said Sunday. “It was really encouraging to see a group that when we were struggling there for a couple of weeks everybody in the clubhouse was like, ‘Hey, let’s find a way to win today.’ It didn’t go our way in a lot of ways, but the group that was out there grinding for nine innings, it was really encouraging to watch. It was kind of like uplifting to me.

“For months, lies and conspiracy theories have been spread, threatening our self-governance. For months, I have said that the American people deserve transparency and truth on how and why thousands showed up to attack our democracy, and ultimately, what led to the insurrection,” Kinzinger said in a statement.
