A 10-year-old girl and a toddler were killed in Chicago gun violence

10-year-old girl died from her injuries on Sunday after she was shot in the head by a stray bullet that came through the window of her Logan Square home Saturday night...

Separately, a 20-month-old boy was fatally shot in the chest and his 22-year-old mother was grazed by a bullet while the two were driving home from the laundromat

The mother was driving south on Halsted Street near 60th Street in Englewood with her toddler son in a child seat in the back of the car when a vehicle pulled up alongside their car and started shooting into it, Chicago police told CNN.

As of June 14, there have been 268 murders in Chicago, a 22% increase from last year's total but slightly below the murder totals of 2017 and 2016, according to Chicago Police data.

Incidents of criminal sexual assault, robbery, aggravated battery, burglary, theft and motor vehicle theft are all below or on par with previous years, police data shows. Shooting incidents, though, have increased 33% from last year, the data shows.

Over Father's Day weekend, 11 people were killed, including four children, and 67 others were wounded in shootings.

Brown on Saturday urged the public to come forward with any information they have on the shooting.

I care. This is sick. This is the real cost of defunding the police. These precious children did not vote for this and the hypocrites who dominate our airwaves should show the pictures of these children over and over.

Their lives matter too.

There will be NO Protests in their honor, no calls for justice..Al Sharpton wont be paying for their funerals, why, simple, because he cant profit off of their dead bodies that’s why..whenever I hear a black person say on TV “Stop killing us” I yell back at the TV “You should be saying that to members of your OWN community, those are the ones killing you”

When do the riots and the looting and the acts of arson begin on this one?

Where is BLM? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is Al Sharpton?

Pathetic. You can’t go do your laundry w/o your toddler being shot?
Wonder if it was a similar car of an enemy?

Please don’t mention things like this. It gives Black Lives Matter a bad name.

I was born there, lived on 69th street.....huge Lithuanian and Polish population.....by 1964-65 the unrest started and by the early 70’s everyone moved out to the suburbs, us outside of Berwyn Bellwood....today the shootings,robberies and unrest are now happening there to. I never did see any white supremacy, only white flight.
