Charges dropped in Chicago shooting involving mother and son.
The Cook County State's Attorney's Office has dropped first-degree murder charges against a 35-year-old woman and her 14-year-old son in connection with a fatal shooting at a West Pullman hot dog stand. The shooting occurred last Sunday and was captured on surveillance video. The woman had also faced a felony count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Anti-violence groups have been responding to a recent uptick in shootings in the West Pullman neighborhood.
