Thirteen people have been killed and at least 54 others injured in shootings across Chicago so far over the Fourth of July weekend.
Nine of the weekends victims were minors, and two of the children died from their injuries.
A 14-year-old boy was among four people killed in a shooting that wounded four others Saturday night in Englewood on the South Side.
They were at a large gathering in the street about 11:35 p.m. in the 6100 block of South Carpenter Street when four males walked up and started shooting, according to Chicago police. The 14-year-old boy was hit in the back and pronounced dead at Comer Childrens Hospital.
Three other male victims were pronounced dead, two at the scene and one at the University of Chicago Medical Center, police said. Their ages were not immediately known.
An 11-year-old boy with a graze wound to the ankle and a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the abdomen were both taken to Comer in fair condition, police said.
A 35-year-old man shot in the hip, leg, arm and wrist was taken to St. Bernard Hospital and transferred to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said. A 29-year-old man shot in the foot was taken to St. Bernard Hospital in fair condition.
Earlier that evening, a 7-year-old girl was killed at a Fourth of July party in Austin on the West Side.

I was going to make a joke about their marksmanship being a bit better this year.
That would be fine if it was other gang-bangers. But when 7-year-olds are getting KILLED - it is disgusting.
I recall reading an article about some tribes in Africa that were fighting each other.
The wives of the two tribes got together. They were sick and tired of their children being killed. The wives all agreed that they would not have sex with their husbands until the warfare stopped.
It stopped!
“67 shot, 13 fatally, over Fourth of July weekend in Chicago so far”
The hypocrisy of Black Lives Matter!

Weekend ain’t over yet, it’s only Sunday morning.
Maybe they’ll break over 100 shootings like they did a weekend or two ago.
Chicago is a huge sanctuary city for gang members.....killing is part of the celebrations of the 4th. Death is just part of their normal community life.....it’s just more fun for these twisted freaks.
Thy only want police to clean up the bodies they leave in their wake.....or for domestic violence when the gals can’t get their man to stop.
Why is a 14 year old BOY out on the mean streets of Chicago at 11:35 pm at night?
Never mind....
What time is the march today for the current victims?
The local Fox station spent less than 2 minutes on 3 separate murders.
Described as usual. “Gun violence”. Hood rats shoot each other regularly.
Lolz. Never happen. Democrats don’t care about murdering blacks.
Come on! I’m sure no blacks were victims!
Uh oh...just looked. Where the victim race has been reported, almost all the deaths this week involves blacks dying. And not ONE killed by cops!
The operative word: Parents.
The best circumstance for a child is to have both biological parents in the home in a committed permanent relationship.
The boy in question was 14 years old. A fourteen-year-old boy can be as big as a man and strong. A fourteen-year-old boy can be an emotional volcano.
A fourteen-year-old needs his father at home and involved in his life to teach the boy to control his emotions and his impulses. Above all the boy needs his father at home to teach him to honor his mother. A boy the honors his mother will honor his wife.
Mental, ewmotional and physical discipline a boy learns from his father and will rarely learn from his mother.

I wonder how many were hit by bullets fired straight up into the air in celebration of the 4th? Bullets that eventually fell back to the Earf striking an innocent person...
Black Lives Don’t Matter In Chicago
culling the lefturd loon herd
Thug ferals are poor marksmen.
Parkinsons law is the adage that work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. It is sometimes applied to the growth of bureaucracy in an organization.
IOW the number of social problems expands to keep the number of available social workers busy.
There are Republicans in Chicago???
