Two people were killed-- including a 16-year-old girl fatally shot on Chicago’s South Side and a 25-year-old man killed a block from the Chicago Police Department headquarters-- and at least eight others were wounded in overnight Chicago shootings.

The teen girl was among two shot in a possible drive-by shooting in the city’s Englewood neighborhood early Saturday morning.

Police said the girl was standing outside around 12:45 a.m. with a man when a car drove by and someone inside fired shots. She was shot in the head and was found unresponsive at the scene and a 20-year-old man was shot in the back and taken in stable condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Janel Sedevic.

A 25-year-old man was shot to death late Friday night in the city’s Bronzeville neighborhood.

The man was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the abdomen about a block of Chicago Police Headquarters in the 3500 block of South Indiana at around 11:35 p.m. Authorities said someone walked up and fired shots at him before fleeing the scene.

At least eight people were wounded overnight as well.

I’ll be expecting the boys from St. Louis to Manhattan protesting in the streets for this injustice, right?

Right?

I’m always amazed by the number of shootings in this “gun free city”.

Well they may not but there’s no doubt that the lyin’ king will address the nation starting next Monday and every Monday after that with “We lost some folks in Chicago over the weekend.” Right? Prolly not.

Where are all the rioters and looters? They are probably still in Ferguson. Where are all these people that think they’ve been “OPPRESSED” by the government? I have news for all these people that think they have been “OPPRESSED” by the government. The “GOVERNMENT” that has been “OPPRESSING” them, were the same GOVERNMENT that they continue to vote for. All DEMOCRATS. Chicago, like Ferguson, and like every other city in the east, have been run by DEMOCRATS for the last 60+ years. All of them, politicians I mean, have been promising to change things, all DEMOCRATS, have fallen short. And yet, these very stupid people continue to vote for them.

Former senator and experienced riot organizer ObamISIS doesn’t give a $hi+. Nothing new to see there. No racial tensions to inflame. Move along.

In order to helps their revenues, is Chicago giving action tours of the affected neighborhoods. Maybe the ad could be : Watch Ferals murder each other...and maybe you!”

That poor baby, she never had a chance to live a life

My 16 yr old daughter would not be standing outside with a man at 1245AM in ANY neighborhood

Granted the streets should be safe 24/7
But c’mon parents!! Get your teens off the streets and into their own beds before midnite!

(PS And mooch tells the media she and Obama raising their kids with “Southside values”)

I watched Andrea Tarantello filling in for Hannity last night she was interviewing Jesse jackson in Ferguson MO. When she asked him how come he doesn’t go to Chicago and protest all the black killings in Chitown he was sort of flustered you could tell he was pissed.

Only 2 killed last night? Jeez, my neighborhood was so boring, the major crisis was my son’s flat tire on his ATV. I guess we need to open the gates of our neighborhood and let criminals in for excitement. /s

Well see it’s just not an issue for liberals because those being shot and killed are by other than White police officers. Call obummer, jackhole, al baby when someone is killed by a White cop, until then keep your nose out of the community organizing.

“Only 2 killed last night?”

Hey 8 others were wounded, thugs don’t take much range time, so their aim is bad. And it’s been cool nights in the Midwest.

Every time one of these threads pops up indicating the number of shootings and murder's in Chicago/Chicago Area, I almost feel like I have to check in just to make sure everyone here knows I'm alright ....

Ok, Chicago area Freepers check in! Let's hear from you so we know you're alright! (/humor)
