At least 16 people were shot, one fatally, in gun violence across Chicago Thursday.
The fatal attack occurred on the South Side. About 12:50 p.m., a 22-year-old man was in the 6500 block of South Peoria Street when a gray Audi drove by and someone inside opened fire, Chicago police said. Kevin Stephens was struck twice in the head and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. The Audi fled south on Peoria after the shooting, police said.
A 14-year-old boy was critically wounded in a double shooting early Thursday in Morgan Park on the Far South Side. The attack happened around 12:10 a.m. when someone opened fire in the 1600 block of West Waseca Place, Chicago police said. The teen was struck twice in the head and was taken to Roseland Hospital by a family member. He was then transferred to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was listed in critical condition. A man, 29, was grazed in the head and refused medical treatment. [snip]

Black on black crime. And the least that cares are the blacks themselves.
This is what the left wants. Bring all the cannibal savages to the USA.

Worst shooters ever...
Warming up for the weekend...practice rounds.
But tis a only a flesh wound.....
Weekend warmups. Isn’t that what Thursdays are all about?
It really sounds like a war zone.
Even still, I will bet there are some relatively safe areas of Chicago.
But those areas don’t make the news.
This is the same Chicago people used to write Broadway songs about. Movies too.
Perhaps long after Lightfoot is gone the city can begin it’s recovery.
Even Emanuel whatshisname, the previous Mayor would be an improvement

These stories belong in the Chicago Arts Section, not the Crime Section, celebrating diversity and their culture.
Cooler weather forecast this weekend.
I will wait for final tally on Monday.

Don’t know about ‘ever’. But they aren’t very good for sure.
This headline sounds alarming, and in normal times it would be.
However, we do not live in normal times. Thursday toll is only slightly above average. It is not clear why this made the news.
Yep. It’s kicks in tonight at 6p.
That is a problem, and it’s costing the taxpayers of Chicago millions of dollars every year.
They say 14-year-old boy as if he were an innocent kid. Perhaps he was, but there are kids as young as 10 and 12 committing carjackings in the major cities. The gangs have taken the place of parents.
We need to have a Crowd Fund for 9mm ammo and laser sights.
