CHICAGO - The Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested Saturday at a
demonstration outside a south suburban gun shop and charged with one
count of criminal trespass to property.
Jackson was arrested when he refused to move away from the
entrance to Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, police said. He has
protested with other community activists outside the shop in recent
weeks after a 16-year-old honor student was gunned down on a city
bus.
Police said the shooting was gang-related but that the teen was
not the intended target.
