A fight and a gunshot forced one of Chicago‘s most popular summer spots to close just hours after opening for Memorial Day weekend. 

Up to 100 teenagers gathered at the North Avenue beach around 1:30 p.m. on Friday when a fight broke out and someone fired a gun, according to police, Fox 32 reported. Video of the incident showed the group of teens taunting each other before a single gunshot is heard and the crowd disperses.

No one was injured by the gunfire, and police took a 15-year-old boy and one other person into custody. Chicago’s beaches, which stretch along Lake Michigan, officially opened at 11 a.m. Friday for the summer.

“The person who fired the weapon was observed,” Interim Chicago Police Department Supt. Fred Waller said. “He was taken into custody after a very, very short foot pursuit. Another subject in the same area was also observed running away with a weapon and he was taken into custody. Two weapons were recovered from him.”

Claire Nelson, who was at the beach with a group of friends from DePaul University, was only 200 feet away from the group of teenagers at the time of the fight and subsequent gunfire, CBS News reported. 

“We were really close, actually. We were having fun, and then all of a sudden these people started fighting, and the police came out, and then we heard a gunshot, and we just ran away to safety,” Nelson said.

The beach reopened a few hours after the incident, and the 15-year-old was charged with two felonies: one count of aggravated assault discharge of a firearm and one count of criminal damage to property worth $500 to $10,000.

The city, led by its new leftist mayor Brandon Johnson, prepared for another weekend of potential violence by increasing police presence across the city and deploying 30 “peacekeepers” trained in de-escalation and conflict intervention. The Chicago PD also said it would be conducting bag checks of large gatherings at beaches. 

Last year in Chicago, nine people were killed and 40 were injured in shootings across the city over Memorial Day weekend.

“It’s going to take all of us not just the police, city government to ensure our communities can live and thrive in peace and safety,” Johnson said while discussing the city’s safety plan for the holiday weekend.

A pro-Trump rap group’s single, titled “Boycott Target,” has exploded online, racking up nearly three million views and climbing to number #6 on the iTunes Charts.

Forgiato Blow, Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli, and Stoney Dudebro created the hit song, boasting lyrics about retail giant Target “targeting” your children with Satanic and sexualized goods.

“There’s a cleanup on every aisle/Target is targetin’ your kids,” the song’s lyrics open. “This agenda’s gotta stop, they know we gonna win.”

“Target, Target, yeah they targetin’/Target, Target, yeah they target kids,” the song goes, continuing on to lyrics about the LGBT agenda going “too far.”

The video for the song appears to have been shot at a Target store, where LGBT Pride goods are on display for sale.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) boosted the song online. “American Conservatives are once again showing who has the real buying power,” she said. “It’s not the woke mob, they only bully and riot.”

“There is now a rap song about the Target Boycott. It’s not just an online movement anymore — it’s fully enmeshed in culture,” wrote Rogan O’Handley, a.k.a. D.C. Draino. “And Target’s stock price is at its lowest point in a year and falling fast. When will these Woke companies learn? LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.”

Target faced criticism after social media users pointed out that the store offered “tuck-friendly” and “extra crotch coverage” female swimsuits for sale. In response to the controversy, Target announced that it has also removed some products from its stores, which reportedly include a sweater that read “cure transphobia not trans people” and a “too queer for here” tote bag.

The backtracking comes amid a devastating boycott against beer brand Bud Light over that company’s decision to team up with Dylan Mulvaney, a 26-year-old transgender activist.

Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch has reportedly lost nearly $16 billion in market value since the backlash started last month. Target has witnessed a $6 billion decrease in its market capitalization, The Daily Wire reported Thursday.

Target’s stock price has declined from $152.28 on May 19, to $139.39 on May 25, marking an 8.5% decrease over the course of a single week. The firm’s market capitalization, which refers to the total value of a publicly traded company’s outstanding shares, fell from $70.4 billion to $64.4 billion over the same time period.
