Guns that end up on Chicago’s streets often come from Indiana and Wisconsin. In 2019, of more than 11,000 guns confiscated by Illinois authorities, 460 were traced back to Wisconsin. One stolen handgun, a 9 mm Glock 17, was the focus of a Tribune investigation after it was linked to 27 shootings, including two homicides, making it one of the most active guns seen by Chicago police in recent memory. In little over a month it was on the streets of Chicago, where it would be fired over and over and over. An extended magazine, which increases firepower, was attached. The Chicago Tribune examined hundreds of documents obtained through open-records requests to outline and understand the Glock’s path to and throughout Chicago, conducting numerous interviews to learn how the weapon moved about the city and hearing from those whose lives were forever altered by its use.
