At least sixteen people have been wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday night.

Three people were critically wounded in a single attack Saturday morning in Austin on the West Side.

The group was standing outside about 3:50 a.m. in the 1300 block of North Massasoit Avenue when a male approached on foot and fired shots, Chicago police said.

A 29-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was transported to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said. Another woman, 56, was struck in the back and a man, 30, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the legs, police said. Both were taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood in critical condition, according to police.

Another four people were wounded after a shooter opened fire on a crowd gathered in Jackson Park early Saturday morning on the South Side.

About 1:20 a.m., someone fired shots into a large group standing in the park in the 1600 block of East Hayes Drive, police said.

A 19-year-old man was struck in the right arm and listed in fair condition, police said. A woman, 52, was shot in the face area and another woman, 20, suffered a gunshot wound to the left leg, police said. Both women were also listed in fair condition. The fourth victim, a male whose age was unknown, suffered a gunshot wound to the right leg and was listed in serious condition, police said. All four victims were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.

At least eleven others were wounded in citywide gun violence since 5 p.m. Friday.

Seventy-three people were shot, 11 fatally, last weekend in Chicago.

Surely Mayor Lightfoot will have something to say about this.

Per the Associated Press, all of the victims AND the shooters were unvaccinated and not wearing masks.

“What, did the Klan sweep into Chicago and start shooting at random POCs ?”

Very possible, if you believe the news.

White supremacy is in the ascendancy and is the biggest danger facing the world.

And, there are few descriptions of the attackers in Chicago, fewer arrests, and even fewer convictions. No one knows who is doing the shootings.

The only real question is: Why are dim political figures so reluctant to go after the Klan shooters?

Damn good question. That's what I'm wondering.

They wrote it off. You see, at every political campaign for public office in Chicago, those shootings don’t matter at all as if they were some deep in space, having nothing to do with this earth… as long as they are contained

I live and work in Chicago. I am no longer surprised by those shootings. But I still pay attend to them to make sure they are within boundary

My gut feeling is sooner or later it will spread, by which time I will move out of there

This is simply the gangs of Shitcago giving Merrick Garland and the Feds the middle finger. Weather here in the Shitcagoland area is beautiful this weekend, expect a high number of shootings and killings.

Fed presence means NOTHING to the gang bangers, especially since the Feds aren’t going after them, they’re supposedly going after the “illegal guns.”

Yeah, they’ll go after illegal guns while declaring Shitcago a sanctuary city for criminal illegal aliens and MS-113

Right...they have a bunch of pencil necked guys with green eye shades and pocket protectors going over Cabelas, Bass Pro, and LGS books and paperwork...in Indiana.
