18 year old inner city boy unable to touch the "free zone" a few feet away gets shot down like a dog and dies - 18-year-old killed steps away from home -- and safety

An 18-year-old man who friends said was walking a few blocks home after leaving a party because an argument broke out did not make it to his front door on the Far South Side Saturday morning. He was shot about to death about 2 a.m. less than half-a-block from his home -- and presumably from safety. "Not even alley to alley. Two minutes, Joe," said Stephen Spencer, 21, estimating the short amount of time it would have taken him to get to his house. "That's it. Thirty seconds." A second man, 21, was shot in the foot as he walked with the man, who has not yet been identified, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Robert Perez said. The two were among seven people shot between Friday evening and Saturday morning. None of the five other shootings were fatal, police said.
