Independence Day celebrations were marred by multiple shootings in Chicago that reportedly left at least seven dead and 50 injured.
The first fatal shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. Friday, kicking off a violent weekend for the city.
The city has been actively combating gang and shooting violence in recent years after a bloody year in 2012, when it was the only city in the nation to record more than 500 homicides.

Their aim seems to be getting better.
Starting to worry...

They obviously need gun control. < /sarcasm>
According to the progs, gun control is supposed to make a city safe, so what`s up with Fallujah on the Lake?
There is no outrage, because this is serving the Left's objective.
Last ten years:
Afghanistan-——2196 American deaths
Chicago-————4797 American deaths
Go figure....
Obama’s people. Obama’s culture.
Some other Freeper suggested taking the injured to VA hospitals.
I figure the Americans killed in Afghanistan is an actual loss.
So 50 people were shot and seven others died from gunshots.
The statistic of 15% killed as a result of gunshots demonstrates just how difficult it is to kill a human being and why standard magazines should be the norm, as well as gun ownership.
