This Smiling South Suburban Woman Brought Her Gun to Midway Friday: Cops

A south suburban woman was arrested at Midway Airport Friday trying to pass through security with a handgun, and a Florida man bound for Atlanta tried to pass through Midway with a gun on Saturday.

Candace R. Bunch, 29, of the 16400 block of Oxford Drive in Markham, brought a loaded .38 Smith-and-Wesson into the checkpoint, according to police, on Friday at about 1 p.m. On Saturday, Kurt Young, 46, of Tampa, passed a .380-caliber Jennings Bryco Model 58 through the X-ray machine, police said. Each is charged with felony boarding an aircraft with a weapon.
