Fox News Chicago open (voiceover by Jim Barton), followed by news items:

- Investigators hint of a deep hatred of women (and his own unemployment) in Belton, TX resident George Hennard that drove him to shoot up a Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen on the 16th, leaving 22 (at time of this broadcast) dead; Mike Capps has a report, showing where he lived; neighbors including Ann Hartfield and Mike Ward give their accounts of what he was like; sisters Jana Jernigan and Jill Fritz show a hateful letter Hennard had sent them in June

- House of Representatives defeat a measure that would have banned 13 semi-automatic weapons of the type as used in the shooting; however, one opponent, Rep. Chet Edwards (R-Killeen, TX) changes his mind on it and explains why in a video clip, but not enough to make a difference in the vote at the end

- Patrick Warren, 23, dead, and Ricky Oscar, 28, seriously wounded after gang turf warfare shootout at an alley near 4617 South Calumet; area resident Milena Goodlooe is interviewed about incident

- Illinois Democratic Party holding rally at Navy Pier to raise money for 1992 Presidential campaign - and target Senator Alan Dixon over his vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas; Al Vaughters is at this event, among which attendees include a certain Bill Clinton (whose campaign manager, David Wilhelm, speaks in this piece, as does Clinton himself); but the two Illinois senators, Dixon and Paul Simon, are no-shows

- A political rematch looming in Chicago's 2nd Congressional District between Mal Reynolds and incumbent Gus Savage; Reynolds announces his candidacy in front of a foreclosed home at 2881 East 77th Street (if this were New York, that address would be under the East River facing towards Queens)

- Tentative agreement on 3-year contract reached between Chicago Sun-Times and its unions

- Hint of possible compromise between Chicago Board of Education and teachers' union

- 3 people win share of $63 million jackpot from latest Illinois Lottery drawing; report from Scott Smith is just getting started when recording ends
