If the democrats would stop releasing violent gun criminals into black neighborhoods......someone please explain why they keep doing that..........then our gun crime rate would be reduced 95%.....
Prosecutors say a twice-convicted gun offender was on bond for a pending Class X felony gun case when he threatened a Swedish Hospital security guard with a pistol and fired shots in the hospital parking lot, narrowly missing a bystander.
The Lincoln (20th) Police District praised its tactical team on Twitter for a “persistent and dedicated investigation” of the case which it said involved shots fired at the hospital guards. Charges were filed this week.
Two security guards escorted Justin Cortes, 31, from the hospital on October 8 because he was acting erratically, Assistant State’s Attorney Loukas Kalliantasis said.
Cortes allegedly drove up to the hospital a short time later, pointed a gun at one of the guards, and said something to the effect of, “I got something for you.” A second guard witnessed the interaction.
Cortes then sped away and fired shots while heading through the parking lot, narrowly missing someone in the area, Kalliantasis said. He did not say Cortes shot at security guards.
----
Cops arrested Cortes when he showed up for a routine court appearance in his pending Class X armed habitual criminal case on February 28.
He is charged with a new count of Class X armed habitual criminal, reckless discharge of a firearm – endangering others, and aggravated assault of a peace officer with a firearm.
Kalliantasis said Cortes was convicted of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon in 2018, felony domestic battery in 2013, felony domestic battery by strangulation in 2013, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a gang member in 2010.
