CHICAGO -- At least five people have been killed and 25 others wounded in citywide shootings so far this holiday weekend.

In the weekend's latest fatal attack, a man was killed in a shooting Sunday in Grand Crossing on the South Side.

The 29-year-old was found inside a 2011 Chevy Malibu about 7:10 p.m. in the 6800-block of South Stony Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds on the chest, Chicago police said. He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The Cook County medical examiner's office hasn't released details on the death.

About 12:55 a.m., the boy was shot in the chest in the back of a building in the 6800-block of South Green Street, police said. He was found unconscious and transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.

At least 20 more people have been wounded in shootings so far over the extended holiday weekend, which lasts from 5 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Monday.

Last weekend, 8 people were killed and at least 30 wounded in shootings across Chicago.

And they both are a shame and terrible and both murder.

Unless we just want them born and then think nothing of it when they kill each other 15 or 20 years later.

I am pro life and I also believing in donating time in the inner cities to help kids who I Didn’t Want Aborted.

ciao and have a good one

Imagine if it were warm outside.

Thank God the Dems are in charge. They would be stacked like cord wood if the GOP was in charge. //sarcasm

If Chicago would put up Cameras in the affected areas then put it on PPV, they could make a bundle and maybe fix their budget problems, not to mention giving us some awesome entertainment.

Faceless, nameless, black lives don’t matter because the black, congressional reps, who are the real Tom’s, are too busy making $$$ off their misery...and playing conservatives for it.

30 shot with 5 killed is a 16.7% kill ratio.

If they would practice more, the ratio should go up, this putting less burden on our healthcare system. lol

Any young morticians out there? The job market in Chicago is booming!

One of, if not the most, gun controlled cities in the U.S.
Facts are not relevant to what democrats think they know.

Do people in Chicago only get shot or killed on weekends? What about the other days?
