Jennifer Hudson's Mother & Brother Found Dead

Sad news out of Chicago. Jennifer Hudson's mother was found dead in her Chicago home at around 3 this afternoon. Two people were found fatally shot in the South Side home. The family's church confirmed that one of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson. The identity of the other victim hasn't been confirmed yet.

Condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family.

UPDATE: The other victim has been identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason. They were found by Jennifer's cousin. Police believe the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute. Police are reportedly looking for a man and a 7-year-old boy. (Source)

UPDATE II: The boy is Jennifer's nephew, Julian King. An Amber Alert has been issued. Police believe Julian was taken from the home. They are looking for a 1994 White Chevy Suburban with license plate: X584859. (Source)

UPDATE III: Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law, William Balfour, was arrested by police. JHud's nephew Julian is still missing. William isn't cooperating with police or giving any kind of information. They believe William kidnapped Julian from the home after the murders. Police are still looking for Julian.

William has a long, long criminal history. He has served 7 years in prison for attempted murder.

Neighbors are saying that William and Julia had been fighting for the past two weeks over a car. They say William sold her car without her permission. (Source)

LCT - Ok, where you are right is that I am preoccupied, I'm trying to watch Halloween, post here and email, I have not read the entire thread from my 4pm absence till as of late, and I didn't notice the (.) in front of heart angelina.

Sorry.

It is not wise to blame others for your own overreactions. Please do not take that as a jab, my comment is not meant as snark.

I just found your responses to be quite heated and frankly unwarranted.

Good evening then.

I am neutral regarding an opinion when it comes to gun violence and gun ban. However, I believe one should have right to defend oneself. It would be interesting to see statistics as to how many legal gun owners commited crimes as opposed to illegal gun owners.

Sorry I'm not here 24/7 to find out who is who and what is what and etc.

Perhaps you should chill out and use your big girl words instead of calling people loons and bitches. You were here when someone accused .HA of being a loon, you just didn't read it before you lost it. No one's fault but your own. Sorry M.E.

In Canada the homicide and violent crime rate is actually higher in rural areas. But the "gangstas" in our big cities (of which we have, like three) are using STOLEN & ILLEGALLY SMUGGLED AMERICAN guns to kill each other. Oh yes sorry, if they didn't get those guns they would be doing drive-by stabbings and such. And the gun murder rates in every other developed nation on earth are a miniscule in comparison to the states, its a joke to even compare them.

@TITS,

I think my favorite character was Edith Prickley but don't hold me to that, my memory of them all is gone. Killer 3-D Horror Movie, was that the name?

@Lory,

I look at it this way, I'd rather be shot than stabbed but at least I might outrun a knife. Simple.

When you see me again I hope you have been the kind of person you really are now.

@ some of my fellow Canadians & @ Love Carrottop

I really hope that that boy is safe.

Thank you for backing me up - sarcasm.

(Love Carrottop, thank you, is exempted from this).

Apparently, Dlisted popularity is more important than the truth of what is happening up here and where it's coming from. Figures.

Gangs and guns mean nothing to you? Well, I hope that none of your kids get shot, by accident. Yeah, I'm really disgusted that you're not bothering to talk about what is happening, these days - instead of when you were teenagers. Or, maybe it doesn't matter to you.

Angel_i doesn't surprise me (ever heard of Jane and Finch, Galloway, St. Jamestown, Regent Park, etc.,) but TITS? I thought you had more concern.

Signing off,

I'll say this, Britain and other European countries have far stricter gun laws than do we here in the States. Crime still exists over there but in most to be found with a gun means a mandatory five sentence. Needless to say there's a lot less death from shootings over there.

They also in the process of jailing a comedian for years for making fun of the pope. And words are banned there. And 5 years for not harming someone, but for what you might do is fucking fascist. I would like to see a comparison of gun violence in Americas suburbs and rural areas to Europe. I'm just saying URBAN peoples put the US violence numbers over the top. Call me an asshole for saying it but its just a fact.

Everyone has such adorable cat avitars

This is so effing depressing. No, I'm not personally affected by this tragedy but I it does sadden my heart and yes, I will cry over shit that won't make my tomorrow any different...or will it? I refuse to be apathetic and even though me being upset over something that I can do nothing about means jack-shit it might remind me again that life is precious and often way too short. :(

-And, the gun discussion is a hard one for me because my husband owns a rifle but keeps it hidden because he knows guns freak me the fuck out because my bio father was a full-on gun toting piece of pure psycho-rapist-shit. Eh, I probably should edit that out but wtf...I think I've mentioned that before anyhow. :\ ANYWAY, Pandora's box is open, guns are here to stay even if guns are outlawed low-lifes and thugs will be the only ones packing heat. -But, truth is...guns make killing too easy. You have to really think about killing someone by drowning them, strangling them, stabbing them etc. Up close killing is far more real and personal. Aiming and shooting is too simple and frankly cowardly in a lot of instances.

I have no idea what I'm saying. I'm upset.

MK, I know you have a huge heart and you probably thought it would have been rude to post a funny after this but damn. *sniff*
