Eight people were killed and at least 45 people were wounded in shootings between Friday evening and early Monday, making it one of the most violent weekends in Chicago this year.
The shootings bring the year's total to at least 2,213, according to an analysis of a Chicago Tribune database. That's an increase of more than 350 over last year and more than 500 over 2013, according to Tribune data.
There were at least 365 homicide victims in Chicago through Monday morning this year, 53 more than last year and 38 more than 2013, according to a Tribune database on homicides.
The most violent stretch this weekend occurred late Saturday morning into Sunday when five people were killed and 18 were wounded, including a 14-year-old boy who was shot to death Saturday evening in the North Kenwood neighborhood on the South Side.
At least 16 people were shot Friday night into early Saturday, and 14 people were shot late Sunday morning into early Monday morning.
The 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy were on the street in the 4400 block of South Greenwood Avenue in the North Kenwood neighborhood when a car drove by and someone opened fire around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, according to police.

This mayhem was undoubtedly caused by two retired mechanics in Texas who sold each other some Civil War muskets using the gun show ‘loophole’ that precludes background checks i.e. permission from the government to exercise a right.
The shootings bring the year’s total to at least 2,213
Given the latest taxing bondoggle there, surprised they havent added a new “dying in chicago” tax.
Will Obama make a Trayvon “look like me” statement about the Chicago violence this last weekend?
45 wounded........They need more range time in Chicago.
NO.
But Obama will invite a muslim kid to the white house.
It's not just Chicago. Cleveland, which normally has less than 100 homicides a year, has had a slew of them on the east side recently, including three young children killed in crossfire or drive by random shootings. It's in neighborhoods with an attitude that they don't want the police policing them, then they complain the police haven't stopped the slaughter.
I wonder how many blacks have been slaughtered by other blacks because of "Black Lives Matter".
Pray our fellow US citizens in fragile neighborhoods wake up.
A bunch of young, black males shoot and kill each other for stupid reasons. The conclusion of the liberal media: let’s take the guns away from the people who aren’t shooting and killing each other.
Deez po’leece our killin’ our kidz
I've read a number of stories like that in recent years. Black "leaders" cry racism when the police don't prevent shootings and killings. And then when the police show up to arrest thugs and troublemakers, they are many times physically and verbally assaulted by black crowds who scream (guess what) RACISM!!!
Complicit in the whole thing is the lib media who keep silent about the matter....unless of course when they're blaming the police (as usual) for the violence.
Just wait until all the “Syrian refugees”get here.Then you’ll see a body count.
As long as there’s no Whitey to blame, those Black lives don’t matter.
Early in the spring I emailed Mayor Rhambo to deputize the Moms United for Gun Sense (conveniently located a short drive away here in Indiana), team them with the BATF, and send them into the ‘hood to clean out all the illegal guns.
So far no reply.
Please don’t station me in Chicago,,,,send me to Afganistan,,,It’s safer there!
