A former Chicago Public Schools teacher with a history of sex-related misconduct is now charged with exposing himself to three young girls on the Far Noth Side last month.
Three men used a hammer to break through the front door of a North Side jewelry store on Sunday evening and took more than $100,000 worth of merchandise from display cases.
A tragedy was narrowly averted when an 11-year-old boy found a loaded firearm lying in the front yard of a West Rogers Park residence and it fired when he picked it up.
