A gunshot was fired and several people were sprayed with pepper spray during rallies in Skokie Sunday night.
Around 5 p.m., an event supporting Israel was taking place in the 3400 block of Touhy Avenue when about 200 protestors showed up in support of Palestine, police said.
During the gathering, a man was confronted by numerous individuals in the Lincolnwood Town Center Mall across the street from the event, police said.
His car was mobbed by the pro-Palestine supporters and if it wasn’t for his gun and the Second Amendment he would have ended up in hospital or dead!
When he was attacked by 20-30 people the man pulled out a firearm and discharged the weapon in the air.
