An update with a brief excerpt:
A 25-year-old man was ordered held without bond today on charges he shot four people and fired at police officers outside a South Side nightclub over the holiday weekend.Here's more on the assailant:
“The danger is just too much,” Cook County Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr. said in issuing his no bond order for Andre Lemon’s alleged shooting spree.
Uniformed officers spotted Lemon shooting a .40 caliber weapon into a crowd that had dispersed outside following a fight inside the club early Sunday, prosecutors said. Lemon, of the 5400 block of South Calumet Avenue, ignored the officers’ orders to drop his weapon and instead fired two rounds at them, assistant state’s attorney Marilyn Alioto said. The officers, who were not injured, returned fire and shot Lemon in the hand, Alioto said.
A man who was shot outside the club, at 72 E. 75th Street, is paralyzed and another male victim suffered gun shot wounds to the abdomen and legs, Alioto said.
Lemon has several drug convictions. Most recently he was sentenced to three years in prison in 2005 on aggravated battery to a government official and possession of a controlled substance charges.SMH!
