A man who was fatally shot Friday night in Little Village fought back against gang members who were hanging out in front of his family’s house, according to Chicago police.

The attack, said Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th) was “incredibly tragic on multiple levels and the type of homicide we can do more to prevent.”
