Law enforcement sources say that Jennifer Hudson’s mother Darnell Hudson was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today; the other victim was Jennifer’s brother Jason.
A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.
The two bodies were found dead on the scene at 2:44 PM. When the fire department arrived and discovered the bodies, police were brought in and the home was declared a crime scene.

UPDATE 6:40 PM: An all points bulletin has been issued for Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew who may have been taken from the scene. Police are looking for 1994 white Suburban with the license plate X584859.
We send our heartfelt sympathies to Jennifer Hudson, her family and loved ones. This is tremendously tragic.

It’s been revealed that McCain campaign volunteer Ashley Todd made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having a backward ”B” (for Barack) scratched on her face in a politically inspired attack. Are you surprised?
Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department’s investigations division, says Ashley Todd is being charged with making a false report to police. Bryant says the 20-year-old college student from College Station, Texas, admitted Friday that the story was false.
Todd is white. She told police she was attacked by a 6-foot-4 black man Wednesday night. She claimed she gave the attacker $60 before he pinned her to the ground and scratched the letter “B” on her right cheek.
Bryant says Todd can’t explain why she invented the story but we now know that she used a blunt knife to scratch the “B” onto her face. Very sad.
In most of our opinions Miss Todd needs psychiatrist help. But this was the fear – what fear? The fear these past several weeks that McCain and Palin would push people already on the edge, over the edge because of the hate rantings by themselves and their surrogates at their rallies which create a negative atmosphere and mind-set. The fear has been proven – this was bound to happen. Thank God that Miss Todd decided to mutilate herself and not shoot an innocent person.
McCain, Palin and their team individually and collectively lack judgment – this is the kind of energy they project onto their supporters – this is why Todd fabricated this entire episode – she probably felt that she was helping McCain. I wish Miss Todd and her family healing and health.
To make matters even more bizarre, Thursday night John McCain called Ashley Todd and praised her and thanked her for all she had been through. If McCain had not been so eager to get publicity from calling Ashley Todd, he would have taken the time to have someone in his campaign investigate the story to make sure that they had the facts correct before he called the media in to film him calling Ashley Todd. He should have at least waited for the Police report.
This is the same thing McCain did when selecting Palin as his VP – he did not ‘vet’ Palin. It was revealed last week that the decision to select Palin was an impromptu decision that came after a ½ hour discussion between McCain and Rick Davis his campaign manager about Palin.
McCain and his team consistently show that they are erratic in their decision making processes. McCain does not belong in the White House – he is too irrational and illogical in his thinking and he doesn’t surround himself with intellectual thinkers.
No way, no how – no McCain!
