CHICAGO (SUN TIMES MEDIA WIRE) - Seven men were killed and at least 27 other people were wounded in shootings across Chicago between Friday evening and Monday morning.

The weekend’s latest fatal shooting happened at 4:51 a.m. Monday in the West Chesterfield neighborhood on the South Side. Officers responded to a call of shots fired in the 9400 block of South Forest and found two people suffering from gunshot wounds, according to Chicago Police. A 66-year-old man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the body (snip)

A 24-year-old man was shot to death while he stood in a vacant lot in the East Side neighborhood, police said. Two men walked up to him at 8:15 p.m. in the 10700 block of South Green Bay and opened fire, striking him multiple times in his chest, arm and hand. (snip)

A 20-year-old man was standing outside about 8 p.m. in the 13100 block of South Langley in the Riverdale neighborhood when several males walked up and fired shots. The man was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Earlier Sunday in the Far South Side Burnside neighborhood, a 22-year-old man was arguing with his 43-year-old father at about who would walk the dog when they shot each other at 8:21 a.m. in the 9100 block of South Woodlawn, according to police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. Both men suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were taken to Christ Medical Center, where the younger man was pronounced dead. His father was listed in critical condition. (snip)

About 5:55 a.m., a 42-year-old man was fatally shot in the Ravenswood neighborhood on the Northwest Side. He was driving in an alley in the 4800 block of North Rockwell when someone came around the corner and shot him in the chest, police said.

Barack Obama could not be reached/bothered for comment.

Not that the MSM would even ask him.

And they didn’t even need 60 missiles!

Though it might help clean up the situation.

7 dead, 28 wounded, these are numbers approaching Assad’s insult. Time to intervene and #MAGA

Probably if Barak Obama LOVED Chicago, he would RUN towards the conflict, instead of retreat in the So. Pacific. Crude model. Destined to be forgotten soon.

Don’t hold me to this but I thought I heard somewhere that Black Lives Matter!.....someone might consider letting the blacks know, unless i’m a bigoted asshole for not giving credit to the Amish as would be my natural second guess!

7 dead times 52 weekends a year = 352.And then there's the holiday weekend factor (15 dead versus the typical 7).And *then* there are the other 260+ days of the year.

Congress is only working a few days in April.

How many of the congressional critters (past and present) are walking the ‘hood trying to stop the criminals?

Of course, I will give “special dispensations” to the members of the Illinois delegation who are already locked up in prison.     /sarc

There is a one week transition period between Winter and Summer in Chicago, it is called Spring.

Susan Rice and John Kerry both said that there are no guns in Chicago.

The War in Chiraq has been ongoing for decades. I wonder what the true number is of blacks killed and wounded in all of this mayhem. This is an American travesty and you can lay this all on the Democrats doorstep.

"Susan Rice and John Kerry both said that there are no guns in Chicago."

No Susan Rice or John Kerry in Chicago, either.

Coincidence? You decide.
