More than 50 people were shot over another violent weekend in Chicago, a level of violence that has marked many of the summer weekends this year and has pushed the total number of people shot in the city to more than 2,600.
The number of people shot during all of last year was 2,988.
Between Friday evening and early Monday morning, at least 52 were shot and nine of them were killed, according to police. The weekend before, 49 people were shot, nine of them fatally. And the weekend before that, 52 people were shot, seven of them fatally.
The month of July saw 65 fatal shootings, the most for a July in the city since 2006. Last Monday nine people were shot to death, the deadliest day in Chicago since 2003.
The deadliest period over this past weekend was between Saturday afternoon and early Sunday when five people were killed and at least 19 others were wounded.
Among the deaths was the son of a Chicago police officer. Arshell Dennis III, 19. He was with a 20-year-old man who was wounded outside a house in the 2900 block of West 82nd Street when someone approached and fired shots around 12:05 a.m. Sunday, police said.

Let’s take away white people’s guns. That will solve the problem
I just told my wife that 52 people had been shot in Chicago over the weekend. She replied without blinking an eye, “I guess the cops were on a rampage.” - LOL!
Is that why the Cubs are doing so well???
Nothing but crickets from the so-called black leaders. So the conclusion one can come to is black on black crime is ok. Just don’t let a white person or a policeman kill a black person because riots will occur.
Apparently Obama and Lynch doesn’t care either.
Was it Chicago that Limbaugh once called New Falluja? Maybe it was Detroit.... Either way very appropriate, I think.
If you are a black in Chicago and want your murder to have significance you have to manage to get shot by a white person or a law enforcement officer.
This is where there ought to be a study to compare killings today to the Capone era in Chicago. my guess is that there were fewer back then.
Somehow my Polish immigrant grand parents are responsible for this.
Well then, why aren’t there riots?
“In fairness, most pistol wounds aren’t fatal,”
Poor shot placement, a nine shot .22 revolver will kill nine if every one is shot dead center of the forehead. A 44 magnum probably won’t kill anyone who is shot in the big toe unless gangrene develops. Of course, in the heat of promoting social justice, shots are apt to be poorly aimed.
That toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago
I'll show you around...
Those Quakers are a violent lot.
Black lives don’t seem to matter much in Chicago.
Because dat is da way dey come in da box.
