Shootout at Chicago funeral leaves 14 wounded

(AFP) - A shootout outside a funeral parlour left 14 people wounded Tuesday in Chicago, as President Donald Trump threatens to send federal agents to a handful of US cities led by Democratic mayors.

The incident started when occupants of a vehicle "began firing at attendees of a funeral. At that time the attendees of the funeral exchanged fire," Chicago deputy police superintendent Eric Carter told reporters.

Shootings have become breathtakingly normal this summer across the United States. A total of 63 people were shot and 12 killed over the weekend in Chicago in ongoing gun violence.

Carter said 14 people were wounded in Tuesday's shooting, but did not specify the degree of severity.

"Too many guns are on our streets and in the hands of people who should never possess them," Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted after what she called a "horrific mass shooting."

Trump's threat to send more military-garbed law enforcement into US cities has mainly been in response to the anti-racism protests rocking the country following the death of African-American George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer in May.

Nothing says “Third World sh!t-hole” like a shootout at a funeral. It’s sort of like those news reports about 200 people getting trampled to death at an Islamic pilgrimage.

Under no circumstances should Trump send federal forces to Chicago. If your enemy is destroying themselves why interfere?
Lori Lightfoot is is fine with all the shooting, as long as they “social distance” while doing the shooting. Shoot from 6 feet away folks. That is the politically correct way to shoot.

“Well they wouldn’t have far to go if they died...”

Black funeral home owners are getting filthy rich in Chicago.

I haven't seen yet the reference to gangster Chicago of the early 1900's up through the 1940's.

There IS a definition and an unmistakable identification;

Young, black, uneducated, and very bad shots.

Yea, I noticed they are all young white adults that have been indoctrinated by the liberal education system.

A friend of my wife from med school is an ER physician at Cook County Hospital (Stroger). I joked with him that he treats more gunshot wounds than an Army MASH unit.

He said that you get used to it. He worked so hard he recently had a heart attack while working in the ER.

Those Federal troops and white nationalists are terrorizing Chicago—while the nonviolent shootings by blacks against blacks don’t matter....

I think I can be a mass media reporter now, right?

That pic tells the story, its not about black lives its about overthrowing the system by white radical commies. Mayor clubfoot woke up for a moment and said these guns should not be on our streets but the criminals behind them are ok

It reminds me of THIS movie. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sick and twisted.
