CHICAGO -- At least 26 people were shot, five of them fatally, in citywide gun violence over the weekend.
Saturday, a man wanted for shooting a woman in the Fulton River District earlier in the week was shot by police during a prolonged manhunt that began after he shot a Chicago police officer in Englewood on the South Side.
Michael Blackman, 45, was shot about 3:35 p.m. following an "armed encounter" with officers near 64th Street and Bell Avenue, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a tweet.
Blackman was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, where he was being treated for eight gunshot wounds and a broken femur, according to Brendan Deenihan, deputy chief of the Chicago police's Bureau of Detectives.

In all of the excitement I have lost track.
Gee, where is Beto when Chicago needs him??? I bet he would say he has never heard of Chicago...violence, shootings, gangs, drugs, Democrats, etc.
It does take time to reload, ya’ know!
Looks like a slow weekend to me....
Only 5 out of 26?
Geez, even the Cubs had a better weekend.
Meanwhile, Denver is freaking out because 4 juveniles have been shot in the last 2 weeks.
I’d love to see the Dem Gang of “We’ll take your Fu*ken Weapons” march through the Chitown Hood with signs saying this. When all would be said and done, chances are the marchers would be no more for obvious reasons?

CNN is sure to shine a spotlight on this wanton violence. NOT!!!
And nobody on the left gives a crapola because it doesn’t advance the agenda.
How many of these shootings were done with ARs or AKs?
Becoming more common in Chicago on the Platte.
Sounds like Johannesburg. At least the shot spotters help the police find the corpses.
I keep telling people that Chicago needs to have book control the way they have gun control.
Literacy rates could skyrocket.

Everybody wants to get into da act!
And the word-association propaganda continues. Play that game with anyone, especially with your gun-owning friends who should know better.
"What's the first thing that pops into your mind when I say "gun" or "violence". Betcha it will be one or the other. Let's not use that phrase whenever we comment anywhere.
I caught some of the House Gun Violence hearing on C SPAN yesterday. On of the speakers was a young black woman who had been to the funerals of 13 of her friends due to “gun violence”. If I had been on that panel I would have asked 1: How messed up is your local culture that young people are literally murdering each other at a staggering rate; and 2, How many of the murderers legally possessed the firearm at the time? Probably none. If they are totally disregarding the law as is what good would another law do?
