A man shot dead Friday evening was the 500th person to be killed in city gun violence since the start of the year during a weekend in which three people have been killed and at least 19 others wounded in Chicago shootings.
The city reached 500 shooting homicides about a week later than it did last year, on Sept. 29, 2016, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times. At this point last year, there had been 511 people shot to death.
In all, 537 deaths have been ruled homicides in the city since the start of this year, according to Sun-Times data.

How many by bump stock? I’ll bet zero.
What...Illinois doesn’t have enough money to put up “Gun Free Zone” signs around Chicago. SHEESH!
Condolences to families and friends of innocent victims.

Mayor Rahm Immanuel said something about Amazon wanting to move to Chicago.
See, see! Them evil bump stocks, I tell ya!
Back in the late 80’s early 90’s NYC used to post 2,000 homicides every year, it was a “leave no witnesses” mentality, even if the crime was shoplifting.
As soon as that degenerate rotting in HELL scumbag MARIO COUMO, who VETOED THE DEATH PENALTY 12 YEARS IN A ROW was out, and the Death Penalty was passed, homicides dropped to 500 or less.
So far this year its looking like NYC will have the lowest homicide total ever, around 300.
500 fatal shootings and they are talking about Las Vegas?
How many were killed by a bumpstock?
Ya a bit slow lately. The only thing that would shake the dirt off their short attention spans would be if they woke up tomorrow and 500 dead bodies lined the streets...
But since it’s only 3 here, 10 there, 8 here 6 there, they never seem to notice or care.
No NFL players taking a knee for blacks killing blacks. Just a bunch of racist anti-American nonsense.
Year to Date
Shot & Killed: 508

“South side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town.”
Leroy Brown. Where I grew up.
Glad ya survived it.
Just think how bad it would be if Chicago wasn’t a gun free zone.
Answer: John McCain.
Got out in 1954 just before the real problems began. In those days the trouble was with shanty Irish ie Daley type democrats. Almost as bad.
Or may Mitt Romney, FRiend?
Of course, McCain is always a problem, so....
Yikes - I think I have Irish background - but your post made me think of Blazing Saddles, lol.
There are definitely thugs and punks of all stripes. I ran into them in various places.
Yes, of course. Brain fart.
Trump should go to Chicago the day after the body count there after the night of the Vegas shooting exceeds the Vegas fatalities.
It’s the horror of the Obama years.
One disaster after another, with one lie stacked upon another.
Frankly, I can’t believe we survived those years.
