LOGAN SQUARE — Police are searching for two men who robbed at least four Northwest Side stores at gunpoint during a two-hour spree early Saturday.
According to a police alert, the men went into each business, took out a handgun and then stole money before driving off in a dark-colored SUV. Two of the stores were 7-Elevens.
In the surveillance photos provided by police, one of the men is seen wearing a T-shirt that reads, "Shoot Til My Arm Falls Off." That's a phrase uttered once by basketball star Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors and later made into a T-shirt.
