I heard there was a shootout at Bank Shots, and I'm talking guns and stuff. A bullet went through Ike Runnels case and shaft..
What have you heard?

Not sure I agree. I lived in the NW suburbs of Chicago for many years and saw little or no shootings. Most of it was all in the city. South and West sides were the worst. Most is over gang turf, drugs and money. That will never stop it has become generational at this point. Like Iraq in a way.Just another day in the Chicago burbs.

When I lived in St Louis if it wasn't a unique crime it didn't make the news. Too much of it to be newsworthy.Bank Shots is in Lynwood, south of Chicago. Nothing (yet) in the Lynwood or Chicago news.

I played for a couple years in Grays Lake at Shooters. Great place the league operator was kind of an ass. Nothing new with that unfortunately. Too bad about Kenosha.. Once the gangs get in it is never the same... Damned FIP's...Kenosha always used to be safe too. But now gangs from northern Illinois have made it their territory so there are shootings all of the time now.
If there are shootings in general, it's not hard to believe that pool rooms would get there fair share of them.

I’ve played Ike several times. He’s a great guy to play and enjoyed a late 3am dinner with him after one of our 1P action showdowns. I also hope he’s fine.Ike might just be the best 65 and over player in America. He's super tough at banks and one pocket and still plays nine ball quite capably. Nice guy, too. I always enjoy catching up with him at Derby City every January. Hope he's doing OK after this scare.
One of the South Side's other sides...Baghdad is safer than the south side of Chiraq.
