Millennium Park security measures are in place after two teens were injured in a downtown Chicago shooting last weekend.
Pastors lead a safety walk, beginning in South Loop, after last weekend's downtown Chicago teen takeover ended in a shooting near Millennium Park.Hundreds of people joined faith leaders, walking along Michigan Avenue, aiming to address what they call the root problem behind the so-called teen takeover from last weekend.
Participants also shared some resources that are available in the city, in hopes to deter teens from going down the wrong path. That's why, in the wake of the large disturbance, a group of local pastors came up with the idea to show their strength and support for change in numbers. "We love them and support them, but for them to be acting that way, it's just not the way to go," said Terry Booker, who attended the walk.
