But some clear themes emerged. Since the South Side has a higher prevalence of crime than other areas, Anthony Jackson was correct to be on alert for danger at the 43rd Street platform, George Jackson argued. And before the beating, Sanchez Mixon was looking in Anthony’s direction, then walked up closely to brush against him, which could reasonably be interpreted as a threat or provocation, he said.

A flash flood watch means there’s a potential for “rapid-onset flooding,” according to the National Weather Service, and those who live or work near streams, rivers, creeks and other waterways should take extra caution. The biggest threat is for the area south of Interstate 80, where pockets of 2 to 3 inches of rainfall were already falling Thursday.

Under the measure, starting with next year’s property tax bills, a taxing district levy shall be increased to reflect refunds through rulings of the Property Tax Appeals Board, a court-ordered assessment correction or a certificate of error. Because such appeals can often take years, and due to annual assessment errors, the recapture provision means likely annual future increases in property tax bills regardless of current limits in state law.

Authorities said least eight people were injured and at least 225 structures were damaged, many severely, from a tornado that tore through Naperville, Woodridge and Darien late Sunday. Meteorologists said the damage was consistent with an EF-3 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale, meaning it had wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph. “We suspect it was one tornado,” said Matt Friedlein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “We don’t know that for certain, but based on the nature of the information and what we know about the character of this event, that’s what we’re leaning toward.”The weather service said it was the first significant tornado to hit the Chicago metropolitan area since 2015, when an EF-3 tornado ravaged Coal City, about 60 miles southwest of the city.On the ground, signs of the tornado’s might were everywhere. A fence post was driven through a roof like a javelin. A backyard trampoline, metal frame and all, was wrapped around the branches of a tall tree. One car was flipped on its roof, while another nearby was so damaged it looked as though it had been bombed.The tornado sirens began blaring in DuPage County at 10:48 p.m. Sunday, according to Woodridge police. The National Weather Service said emergency alerts also screeched on mobile devices in Naperville, Darien and Woodridge, with the goal of waking any sleepers.When the tornado formed, it first hit Naperville about 11:10 p.m., in the area just south of 75th Street and Ranchview Drive in the southeast section of the town, according to Linda LaCloche, spokeswoman for the Naperville city manager’s office. Sixteen homes were deemed uninhabitable by city engineers, she said.At least 125 damage reports came from Naperville alone, Schultz said.

The Golden Knights, making their third semifinal appearance in four seasons of existence, fell short of returning to the championship round since their inaugural campaign in 2018, when they lost to the Washington Capitals in five games. They were undone by a sputtering offense that managed only nine goals against the Canadiens after a 4-1 series-opening win and an anemic power play that went 0-of-17.
