 The four men, who are being held without bond on charges of attempted murder, were not aiming at anyone in particular, but believed the park was controlled by a rival gang, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said. Champ, a convicted felon, should not have been armed and on the streets, McCarthy said. Champ had been convicted of unlawful use of a weapon in July 2012 and sentenced to boot camp, an alternative to prison, at a Cook County facility. Bryon Champ, 21, and Kewane Gatewood, 20, both of Chicago, were charged with three counts each of attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, said spokeswoman Sally Daly 
 
 A statement issued late Monday by Chicago police said both suspects "played significant roles" in the shooting but neither was believed to be the shooter. Earlier Monday, the mother of Deonta Howard told the Tribune that her 3-year-old son was expected to go home in a few days despite being shot in the cheek.
– Chicago police have made a breakthrough in the mass shooting last week that left 13 people injured—and led to talk of the National Guard being brought in to assist city cops. Two men in their early 20s have been arrested and charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, reports the Chicago Tribune. But neither man is believed to be the shooter; police believe the pair helped transport the military-grade weapon that was fired into a crowd gathered to watch a basketball game in a park. "These charges are just the beginning," a police spokesman says. One of the suspects, 21-year-old Bryon Champ, is a known gang member who was sentenced to boot camp last year for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, Reuters reports. The youngest victim of the shooting, 3-year-old Deonta Howard, is making a fast recovery and is expected to be out of the hospital within a few days despite having been shot in the cheek, his mother says. "He just keep saying, 'Ma, they shot me, they shot me with a gun. You heard me, mama?'" she says. "And I say, 'Yeah, I heard you.' But I just say, 'You OK. You a big boy. You a soldier.'"
