CHICAGO -- At least 46 people have been shot, seven fatally, in Labor Day weekend shootings across Chicago, police said.

A man was fatally shot after an argument Saturday night in West Woodlawn on the South Side. The man, 29, was arguing with another man inside a residence about 11:15 p.m. in the 6600-block of South Evans Avenue when he was shot in the neck and arm, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. No one was in custody.

Another man was shot and killed on the city's North Side overnight Saturday, Chicago police said. The shooting happened at about 12:04 a.m. Saturday in the Old Town neighborhood's 1300-block of North Hudson Avenue, police said.

Hours later, a man was killed in a shooting in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side. The man, 22, was found with multiple gunshot wounds about 3 a.m. in the 6000-block of South Racine Avenue, Chicago police said.

A 28-year-old man was arguing with someone at a gas station. The offender pulled a handgun from a fanny pack and shot the victim in the chest, finger and forearm. He was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.

A 15-year-old boy was seriously wounded in a shooting Friday night in South Chicago. The teen was walking on a sidewalk just before midnight when four men approached him in the 7900-block of South Crandon Avenue and fired close to 45 rounds at the boy, Chicago police said. He was struck twice in the back and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, police said. No one was in custody. Detectives are investigating.

But since no white man pulled the trigger, cop or civilian, down the memory hole these 7 murders go.

But by golly Trump’s mean tweets and patriotic protestors on Jan 6 were the worst threat to the nation ever!

Lori stompyfoot crying and whining about illegals being shipped to her state is a welcome spot of comic relief though in all the madness which is liberal destruction

Funny how more people get shot EVERY weekend in Chicago than in the HUGE news “mass” school, church or mall shootings that happen once or twice a year..

Folks in Chicago must feel pretty worthless when their weekly shootings are about as newsworthy as baseball box scores..

Far Left Chicago Fake TV news spends a few seconds on crime and usually right before the weather forecast. Midnight Basketball or a Music Festival in the Ghetto is the lead story.

Good thing Gov Abbott is sending replacement units from the border. Those numbers sound pretty light for a long weekend. There’s still all day today and this evening. Picinics and barb-e-que with some 40s added, a little perceived disrespect and it’ll be on..........

A 15 year old boy walking at midnight? I guess he was going to a midnight basketball game. He was just an innocent victim, when a few guns put 45 rounds of ammo in him... The media wants us to believe that...

I bet he was either a gang member going to kill someone or a drug pusher who had a bad deal...

Yeah, roaming around in groups of five with red hats carrying nooses and yelling, "This is MAGA country!"
