Jewish Children Threatened, Shot at With Gel Pellets in Skokie
Jewish children ages 12–14 were shot at with gel pellets and called “baby killers” by a group of teenagers while playing basketball at Shawnee Park in Skokie.
Police have identified all suspects involved but made no arrests, prompting outrage from Jewish community leaders and officials who called the attack a “violation of the town’s core values” and a warning sign of rising antisemitism.
