A man pointed a gun at a Chicago television reporter and her crew Wednesday as she delivered a live report on gun violence, in a shocking incident that has gone viral.
Police in the Windy City are searching for the man, who appeared over the right shoulder of Joanie Lum as she stood on the corner of Clark and Hubbard in the city’s River North neighborhood. The man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the news crew as they taped Lum’s report for Fox 32-TV’s morning newscast “Good Morning Chicago.”
“HORRIFYING: While our reporter was in the middle of a live report about Chicago gun violence, a man walked up and pointed what appeared to be a firearm at our crew,” the channel said in a tweet.
In the video, the unidentified suspect is first seen walking out of a coffee shop carrying two cups of coffee, with one stacked atop the other. He disappears from view, only to return behind Lum and raised the handgun high above her. He appears to mimic firing it before skipping down the sidewalk away from the crew, waving the gun at his side.
