What most have on Christmas morning others may not have and this struck me as very sad.
Here are some tweets to share from news outlets and the Chicago Fire Dept.

Although Bill is recovering, he still needs vital rehab and care, much of which is not covered by his insurance.
"Friends of Bill Campbell" have generated a GoFundMe page if you'd like to contribute to his care. We wish Bill a speedy and full recovery.

The wounded officer will thankfully be OK!Anthony Woodridge, 25, was charged with two felony counts of attempted first degree murder, one felony count of aggravated discharge of a firearm, and one felony count of aggravated battery by discharge of a firearm.
The Chicago police officer was shot late Wednesday night while trying to catch up with the suspect, who was on the run on the city's South Side.
Plainclothes officers from the Calumet District were conducting a street stop just before 11:30 p.m. near East 95th Street and South Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago's Rosemoor neighborhood, police said. That led to a foot chase.
During the pursuit, Woodridge allegedly turned in the direction of the officers and fired, hitting one of the officers in the hand. Officials say Woodridge continued firing while the officer was on the ground. The injured officer and partner returned fire, and Woodridge was unhurt.
Police were able to catch the suspect, and a gun was found at the scene.
