At least eight children were shot over the Labour Day weekend, including a four-year-old boy who was hit by a stray bullet while he was getting a haircut at his home in Chicago.
The police said on Monday that four-year-old Mychal Moultry was in his home in the Woodlawn neighbourhood on the city’s South Side when a shooting erupted outside the residence around 9pm on Friday. The boy succumbed to his injury.
According to the data analysed by ABC station WLS in Chicago, the violent Labour Day weekend shootings in Chicago added to a grim toll of at least 280 minors who have been shot this year in the city. This includes 35 who died.
At least seven other victims in the age group of 12 to 18 were shot in Chicago over the weekend, police confirmed.
A 13-year-old boy was shot while inside his home on Saturday in the South Side. No suspects have been identified yet. The child is in serious condition at the Comer Children’s Hospital, police said.
Another 14-year-old boy was shot on Sunday in the Little Village neighbourhood in the southeast part of the city. The shooting took place around 3am and he was hit in the thigh and buttocks. The boy was standing outside when the shooting took place, police said.
Two teenagers — a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old — were both shot around 2am on Sunday while they were in a car in the Hyde Park neighbourhood on the South Side travelling home from a party. Police said that one was shot in the back while the other victim was hit in the leg.

Chicago has more white supremacy than it can handle.
Probably some intern checking heyjackass.com.
i AM SURPRISED THAT THE MEDIA JUST DOESN’T CREATE A STAT BOX FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR cities that are well known for this behavior and list it like base ball...rather than get into specifics and drone on (because has been going on for years/decades) in poorly written articles. Then do the same for abortions...life is worthless (except for their own) to these people obviously.
Sorry the boy died but apparently his death is of no consequence to the dimocrat leadership because they do NOTHING to stop the violence.
And the citizens who elected her are equally culpable. Oh well....
The boy was expendable collateral damage.
A boy dead of gunshot is no different than if he were a post birth abortion
Chicago political realism
Sorry chicago, we tried to care but were beaten back by politicians with your best interests at heart.
Chicago has turned into a killing field. I’m not sure why Chicago hasn’t turned into Kabul, with the residents swamping ORD, begging to board an airplane to escape the deadly city. Of course, they don’t have to take a flight out...they could simply load up the family car and leave. I would.
What were 14 and 15 year old “children” up to at 2:30 am? Did their midnight basketball game go into overtime?
