March 18, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- While covering a story about the shooting death of a young Little Village girl, two Chicago journalists were taken into police custody.

 

The incident began after a Chicago police officer barred the news media from the public sidewalk in front of Mt. Sinai Hospital. Other officers also arrived. Then, police detained a reporter from WGN and a photographer from NBC5.

"Your First Amendment rights can be terminated if you're creating a scene or whatever," a police officer was heard telling the journalists.
