An alleged violent relationship ended when a woman shot and killed her boyfriend in River Grove, police say. The case divides law enforcement authorities.
By: JENNIFER JOHNSON
A few hours after sharing a meal at a Chicago restaurant with his girlfriend, Steef Giovanni Corniel was dead — shot four times at an apartment building in River Grove.The woman holding the gun was Corniel’s girlfriend, according to police.
It was the culmination of a day punctuated by incidents of domestic violence inflicted on the woman by Corniel, police reports say. In her statement to police, she said Corniel hit and slapped her while she was driving, choked her in her apartment and threatened to kill her and her mother.
The case divides law enforcement authorities, with River Grove police Chief Mike Konwinski calling it “murder” and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office saying there isn’t enough evidence to charge her with a crime.

Quite a mix today, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. A limping prowler, a bloodless shoot-out, and a permanent end to a woman beater. One DRT, one inconvenienced, and one in the wind. I’d call that an FGS flush.
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. — Senator Barry Goldwater, 1964 speech. Written by AuH20’s speechwriter, Karl Hess

An FGS Baby Flush is almost as good as a Friday WOT FIRST. Losing to a zoomie is only slightly offset by earning another entry to the TAH HoI. I was well on my way to the coveted WOT ACE until the time change, err…Dave fixed the clock. Either way, we’ll take the pot.
Check out the linky on the girlfriend story. Seems as if hometater was a good boy, trying to turn his life around and move to Fluraduhuh, soon as Grandpa bought him a ticket. Having been falsely accused of domestic violence I do take some of those stories with a big grain of salt. Since there can only be a she said, they said, instead of he said, we may never know, the rest of the story. He did have that whole “thug life” look about him so there is that.
Ahhh Wheeled gun pr0n…some of my favorite. ‘Specially when it is of the hand cannon variety. One thing about wheel guns is that will generally work, or can be made to function under most any circumstance. Y’all remember the comment I made the other day about how everyone wants to try and identify somehow with the works and designs of the Saintly John Moses Browning? (Howitzer be his name) Even the reviewer of this one was in on that. Check the review where he states, in talking about the grips, “the 1911-ish sweep.” I just had to laff. Good Times!
Gee, and I assumed the funky grips were an attempt to make a normal DA point like a Bisley.
I think I will just stick to my Security Six with the Hogue grips.
