Three people were killed and at least 14 others were wounded in shootings since Friday evening in the city.

No one is in custody for any of the shootings as Area detectives investigate.

And it isn’t even hot yet.

Chitcago. Who cares?

[Fido969]

Perhaps they just need more community organizing.

How many yet to go?

re: 17 people shot in seven-hour period

I wonder how that compares to the STATE of Arizona over the same period.
Probably a fair comparison with comparable populations and a night and day difference in gun laws.

Meanwhile: CNN promised to make Rahm Emmanuel ‘star that he really is’ in ‘CHICAGOLAND’ series...

[ThunderSleeps]

Sounds about right. 6 out of 7 people shot with handguns typically survive. (14% or so die). IIRC last weekend Chicago was running a little behind that. Must have practiced at the range. 3 out of 17 is what, 17%? Good thing they have all those strict laws...

[jimmyray]

I was thinking the same thing. What does success look like?

[jimmyray]

Even harder to define, what does failure look like?

[fatnotlazy]

The obvious solution: More gun control.

(Yes, I’m being sarcastic)

If you are really quiet and listen attentively, you can hear from off in the distance the screams of the three people who were shot while you were reading this post.

"No one is in custody for any of the shootings as Area detectives investigate."

FAIL

[BenLurkin]

It helps if we understand that the Leftist/Media/DNC complex is the Humpty-Dumpty of our day...

[Farmer Dean]

Maybe they need to trade in all those .380 and 9mm pistols and get something that’s combat effective.

[Altura Ct.]

I am pretty sure these are negros.

Can I say that?
