CHICAGO (CBS) — At least seven people were wounded in separateshootings on Thursday in Chicago.

The latest attack happened about 11:30 p.m. in the Eden Green neighborhood on the Far South Side, where a 42-year-old man was walking in the 13300 block of South Indiana when a gunman opened fire from a parking lot nearby, according to Chicago Police. A bullet grazed his leg and he declined treatment.

An hour before that, a 20-year-old man was driving in Englewood’s 6600 block of South Racine when he was shot in the head and he crashed into a parked car, police said. He was taken in critical condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

About 6:30 p.m., someone walked up to two men, ages 30 and 31, on a West Side Austin neighborhood sidewalk in the 4900 block of West Walton and opened fire, hitting the older man in the side and the younger in the arm. They were taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where their conditions were stabilized, police said.

About the same time in Gresham, a gunman got out of a red SUV in the 8300 block of South Throop and shot a 38-year-old man in the leg as he stood on a sidewalk. His condition was stabilized at Christ Medical Center, police said.

Just after 6 p.m., a 24-year-old man who was shot in the head in Austin’s 5900 block of West Erie took himself to West Suburban Medical Center. He was uncooperative with investigators and transferred to Stroger Hospital, police said.

Thursday’s first shooting happened about 2:15 p.m. in Logan Square on the Northwest Side. A 22-year-old woman was in the 3700 block of West Palmer when someone in a passing car shot her in the shoulder.

This is insanity.

I don’t think the bootlegger wars had this many shootings.

Rudy laid out the blueprint. All you have to do is FOLLOW IT.

NYC was Brutal with drugs and prostitutes and shootings.

Eight years later, I couldn’t believe the transformation. (i’m sure it has transferred back some under deblasio).

Why would you not implement the same strategy?

"7 People Shot Across Chicago On Thursday"

Like, out of a cannon? With a giant rubber band? The lake must have been pretty cold for them to land in it.

13300 South Indiana. Man, is that a grim neighborhood. Not too far from young Obama’s old community organizing stomping grounds. He obviously worked wonders.

Because it is easier to blame the police and society instead of acknowledging the failed culture that created such anarchy. The welfare state has been an abysmal failure in the inner-cities and this is the result. The only answer they know is to feed the bureaucracy and blame everyone else so they continue to get elected and children continue to be victimized.

It’s funny if they just replaced “Across” with “in” it changes the entire headline, and makes sense. ;-)

They want the votes. Same reason they protect illegal immigrants.

“7 People Shot Across Chicago”

Like, in a cannon? Did they make it clear across?

When did journalists get so sloppy with the English language?

It didn’t even take Rudy eight years. The transformation was almost complete by the end of his first term. The improvement in quality of life was so spectacular and undeniable that even the NY Times was forced to admit it and endorsed Rudy for re-election.

“is that a grim neighborhood”

While working at the University of Chicago, I rode with a VERY ADVENTUROUS carpool, anything to save a few minutes!

Escape to the Western suburbs!

Grim? Carpet bombing, would be an upgrade.

Many of the routes, were for very cold, low snow days only.
Warm weather, stay out, park on the Ryan.
1970-1980’s; I doubt it has improved.

Yeah, but there is no Whitey anywhere in sight that they can blame.
