Two teenagers were shot while they played basketball Tuesday night near a public elementary school in the Rogers Park neighborhood, police said.

The teens ­— ages 17 and 18 — were shooting hoops in the 7600 block of North Marshfield, where the Stephen F. Gale Math and Science Academy is located, police said.

A light colored sport-utility vehicle drove by about 10 p.m. and shots were fired, police said.

The 17-year-old boy was shot in the left arm and the 18-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the buttocks, officials said.

The First Clear Link Between Violent Video Games And Hostility

Business Insider
Teenagers who play violent video games over a number of years become more aggressive towards other people as a result, a new study has found.

The research findings were said to be the first indication of a clear link between a sustained period of playing violent games and subsequent increases in hostile behaviour.

Girls who played them during their school years were found to be affected just as much as boys.

The research team at Brock University in Canada said their results were "concerning" and argued that violent games could "reinforce the notion that aggression is an effective and appropriate way to deal with conflict and anger."
