Eight people were killed, and nineteen others were wounded, in shootings Tuesday in Chicago, including a man who was found fatally shot in Lawndale on the West Side. About 10:15 p.m., officers found the 26-year-old laying on the sidewalk in the 3800 block of West Flournoy Street, with gunshot wounds to his head and abdomen, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Minutes prior, a 16-year-old boy who was killed, and a man who was wounded in a shooting in Gage Park on the Southwest Side.

Black on black crimes. Nothing to see here says the MSM.
I wonder if maybe Chicago should try enacting some sort of reasonable gun control?
I don’t see the problem. Kind of like a self cleaning oven.
Sorry, I forget the /s tag. Chicago is one of the worst in terms of gun rights ... and in murders. Maybe they should try doing even more, and expecting the same results. (Einstein’s definition of insanity.)
The end/sarcasm tags are more needed now than ever due to the craziness happening in our country, especially craziness that is ok with millions of people.
“...officers found the 26-year-old laying on the sidewalk...”
What did they do with the eggs?
Hey, didn't that nasty, ugly, hag Lightfoot, only a week ago, declare that the violence was getting better?
Violence is getting better,,? What, body count is improving..?
Chicago, what a wonderful place to sell ammo...
More BLM terrorists killing each other. What is there not to like?
This is a Democrat plus. They’re thinning the herd and cannot be connected to the violence. For them, the more blacks killed, the better for them and the planet.
Chicago doesn’t kill people just on weekends anymore. Chiraq is real
Worthless Mayor Lighthead on TV this morning again blaming out of state guns for the killings. No mention that the idiots who live in the South and West sides actually load the guns and pull the trigger.
43% kill ratio. Much improved over previous shooting affrays.
Must be all those white supremacists that Garland is yammering about doing these murders.

And the second paragraph starts with an incomplete sentence. Perhaps they hire their writers from the hood these days.
The only thing that bothers me about all the black-on-black violence is that all the wounded put a big drain on society and taxpayer funds. Maybe we should give them larger caliber weapons and train them to aim better, and not leave so many just wounded.
Somebody has been to the range. Kill rate up from single digits to near 40%, now we’re talkin’.
They are getting what they voted in.
