A woman in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood was raped at gunpoint by a home invader on November 6. Chicago Police Department 911 operators logged nine calls about the attack yet dispatched no officer while the 6th District had no patrol cars free. She reached Holy Cross Hospital by 1:13 p.m., and an officer was sent to meet her only at 2:13 p.m. after a sergeant reviewed the pending call. The delay shows residents cannot count on timely police help and must be ready to defend themselves with a firearm and proper training.
