Grandfather tried to warn grandson before both killed by gunfire in Chicago Lawn

The block where a 14-year-old boy and his 65-year-old grandfather were shot and killed Tuesday was quiet a day after the slayings, and neighbors were unwilling to talk about the shooting. (Mary Norkol/Sun-Times)

A 65-year-old man tried to warn his 14-year-old grandson to run for shelter, but they were both gunned down in a hail of gunfire coming from a silver Kia Soul on the Southwest Side Tuesday, police and neighbors said.

A day after the slayings, the 3500 block of South 61st Place seemed hushed, and many were not willing to say much about the shooting that left Juan and Mario Medina dead outside the family home.
