Six persons were wounded–two critically–when gunfire erupted at a Chicago memorial for gun victims.
The shootings occurred around 8:15 pm Wednesday night during “a vigil for another victim of gun violence in Chicago.”
According to the Associated Press, Community activist Jedidiah Brown says the mother of the victim for whom the memorial was held was among the six who were wounded. A 12-year-old girl was also wounded when a bullet grazed her head. She is listed in stable condition.
Chicago police spokesman Ron Gaines said “a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman are hospitalized in serious condition with gunshot wounds.”
Breitbart News previously reported that shootings and murder for January 1, 2017, through January 22, 2017, were higher than shootings and murder for the same period in 2016. The Chicago Tribune reported “at least 228 people… shot in Chicago” January 1 through January 22 of this year. That is an increase of 16 victims over the number shot during the same time in 2016. And there were “at least 42 homicides,” marking a “23.5 percent from the 34 homicides from the same period in 2016.”

OOpppss! Looks like someone beat me to this one with an article from the daily beast so if someone needs to take this one down, have at it.
Rahm must be soooooooooo proud.
Perhaps another Press Conference to attack Trump is in order? Fools!
The guns are fighting back.
and to think that idiot ABC guy interviewing Trump was aghast at the thought that Federal troops might have to intervene in Chicago!
C’mon, Rham has it under control.
Perhaps Rahm will return the president’s phone call.
Put a fence around Chicongo and let them enjoy the fruits of Democrat policies that they voted for.
Looks like anytime you have a gathering of 10 or more in urban Chicago the bullets start flying.
Maybe they don't know how a 21-gun salute is supposed to be done.
How utterly crazy! Chicago will go the way of Detroit and San Francisco is on the fast track!
Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco. Three cities to stay the hell out of.
Will Chicago be able to beat the 2016 record? Looks like they’re gonna try

Somehow I don't think that it makes sense to fire off "celebratory rounds" at a memorial for gun victims.
But that's probably just me.

But, I thought 0bama had Chicago all, ‘organized’ and squared away?

Well between him and father fleabag and jerry “you got that” wright, things are going along as planned.
As officers investigated on the block and searched for shell casings, two women approached the crime scene tape. One of them, who lives on the block, said she hears shots fired “damn near” every day.
Another federal investigation of police Violence against blacks is needed
The guns are fighting back. ??
