CHICAGO (WLS) -- A West Side hospital was forced to stop accepting patients on the tail end of a violent weekend that has left 47 people been shot, four fatally, across the city.
Saturday night, resources were stretched to the breaking point as officers responded to multiple shootings in Chicago's 10th Police District, which includes West Side neighborhoods such as Lawndale, Douglas Park and Homan Square. The shootings all occurred within a three hour period, resulting in 17 people injured and at least one dead.
"Throughout the night, we had multiple incidents where there were large gatherings and it was very difficult to protect these crime scenes, so we had to leave cars there and at the same time we had to go out to another one," said 10th District Capt. Gilberto Calderon.
Investigators believe that shooting stemmed from a basketball game earlier in the day where police recovered three weapons and had been forced to disperse the crowd, which only reassembled after they left.
The sheer number of shooting victims overwhelmed not just 10th district police but emergency rooms as well. Mt. Sinai Hospital in Douglas Park was forced to go on bypass for several hours.

Thanks Mr. Mojo.
Exactly! Remove the stats from these ten cities and we are safer than Norway! Even with these cities included, we are twice as safe as in 1993...
The only hope to “change the culture” is to sterilize the people who live there. They procreate enough replacement “fodder” to make sure there are always young men to sacrifice to gun violence.
Elevating conflicting policy positions produces cognitive dissonance; another form of trauma based mind control wizardry...
Just another quiet weekend in Rahmville (I’m giving the new mayor a little leeway on this for a few months.).
MSM...............(Crickets)................
Threads like this, adding perspective, supposedly add nothing (for the Left)...

He’s right.
Yes. One even sees the lack of perspective on FR. The twins who died in NYC recently because of being left in the car led to several threads with terms like epidemic being thrown around. During the 48 hour period, one would have under .2 such deaths.
In the same 48 hour period, one would have at least 3400 deaths due to abortion on average. (FWIW abortion is the leading cause of death in the United States, slightly ahead of heart disease and cancer, with all types of accidents grouped together being a distant 4th).
BTTT.
Google, why no black ribbon for the ongoing carnage in Chicago?
If we could take guns from all Democrats, there would be no shootings.
Hey, who’s in charge over there?
LOL .... good one mew. If you're not careful Google will turn you over to the FBI for thinking the wrong thoughts...
