Six people were killed and 32 others were wounded by gun violence so far over the weekend in Chicago.

The latest fatal attack left a man dead Saturday in Austin on the West Side.

The man, 32, was with a male suspect about 7:04 p.m. in the first block of South Leamington Avenue when the male shot him in the chest, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital.

Earlier that afternoon, a 29-year-old man was fatally shot in Chatham on the South Side.

About 3:05 p.m., he was standing on the corner in the 8300 block of South Ingleside Avenue when a silver vehicle pulled up and someone inside fired shots at him, striking him in the chest, police said.

Saturday morning, a man was shot to death in West Garfield Park.

The 28-year-old was sitting in a parked vehicle at 4:27 a.m. in the 4400 block of West Adams Street when someone approached and fired shots, according to police. He was hit in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene.

A 30-year-old man was fatally shot several hours earlier in Roseland on the Far South Side.

Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert found the man lying on the street about 2:03 a.m.

The earliest fatal shooting happened Friday in Roseland on the South Side.

An 18-year-old man and 20-year-old woman were standing outside with a group about 9:15 p.m. in the 300 block of West 108th Place when someone inside a passing vehicle opened fire, police said.

The man, Deandre Darling, was struck multiple times in the chest, authorities said. He was taken to Roseland Community Hospital and died while being transferred to Stroger Hospital. His death was ruled a homicide.

Sad but true.

The new physical distancing standard of 6 feet in Chicago and the wearing of masks has and three exceptions:

Exception 1: On Lori Lightfoot’s front lawn and front porch the physical distancing standard does not apply and masks are not required. Spitting is also allowed but only onto the front door knob.

Exception 2: In city hall and on the grounds of city hall the physical distancing standard does not apply and masks are not required. Spitting is also allowed but only onto the Mayor Lightfoot’s desk and in her office.

Exception 3: A felon in possession of an firearm does not have to follow physical distancing requirement and can wear a mask or not wear a mask while ignoring actual laws rather than dictatorial edicts.

Wow - Roseland Community Hospital - the worst in the city. If you were not DOA - Roseland will finish the job. Can’t believe they are still open.

I still think they need better gun control. Gotta improve their aim. Thirty-two wounded is deplorable. They should have fatally shot at least half of them.

It’s just the Hutu vs. Tutsi in Chitcago. Nothing to see here.
