CHICAGO — Janis Bailey says the sound of gunshots outside her
apartment window might as well replace her alarm clock most mornings.
When she hears the pop, pop, pop of the guns she
knows it's time to get out of bed for an early morning shift working
for the Transportation Security Administration at Midway airport.
By 2 a.m., Bailey is outside standing alone at
the bus stop in the predawn dark. She says she prays silently as bullets
barely miss her as she waits.
She says she's not scared, "God has protected
me" she adds. But she does worry for her 12-year-old daughter who will
wake up in a few hours to walk to school, even though she is with her
father.
On South Leamington Avenue, children stay indoors and do not go outside to play, Bailey says.
