Stop in for a cup of coffee

A Chicago firefighter was involved in a road rage shooting, but I can kinda see his side as the guy ran into him and then tried to run... The guy who tried to hit and run him sorta got what was coming to him...


Charges have been filed against a Chicago firefighter in an apparent road rage shooting on the North Side on New Year’s Eve.

The incident happened in the Andersonville neighborhood. Chicago police said 34-year old off-duty firefighter Omotayo Kassim shot another motorist in the jaw after a crash and brief chase.

It started with the driver of a Jeep allegedly hitting Kassim’s Chevy Tahoe in the 5200 block of North Clark. A police report said the Jeep driver made a three-point turn and drove away, but Kassim chased him for several blocks and rammed his Tahoe into the Jeep causing it to crash.

The report said Kassim argued with the other driver and then shot him.

The victim was last reported in critical condition and on life support while Kassim is charged with attempted murder and has been put on leave by the Fire Department.

Kassim is expected to appear in court today.
