Chicago Gun Buy-Back Program Sends Gun Back to the Streets

A gun turned in at a Chicago Gun Buy Back held at Saint Sabina Catholic Church went "missing." It would have been bad enough if that gun ended up in a cop's private collection. But it didn't. It ended up in the hands of 16-year-old who shot a woman. Woman shot with stolen buyback gun files lawsuit against City of Chicago

  • Twanda Willingham was shot in August 2023 with a Glock that had been turned in at a police buyback but went missing in transit.
  • She is suing the City of Chicago and unnamed officers, alleging a cover-up; the gun later surfaced with a 16-year-old tied to multiple shootings.

You can read the article, but the video is more entertaining, and only 5 minutes.

This is Colion Noir's video Chicago Woman Shot With Gun From Police BuyBack Program

Saint Sabina is somewhat famous in gun-control circles in Chicago, being home to Father Michael Pfleger. You can look him up easy enough.

Everything about this story took place in the neighborhood of Auburn Gresham. Auburn Gresham is one of the 77 neighborhoods in Chicago. St. Sabina is in that neighborhood. The shooting was in Auburn Gresham. The police station is listed as being "just blocks apart" from the church. If they did in fact use the closest police station, it is in Auburn Gresham. So the gun didn't travel far.

Auburn Gresham is currently (data as of 4 August) in 7th place in the most dangerous neighborhood race, as reported by HeyJackass! There have been 9 murders, and 37 people have been shot and wounded. Not too bad for 3.77 square miles. Either that or it is horrible.
