CHICAGO -- At least 65 people have been shot, six fatally, across Chicago since Friday evening, including several children.

A man was shot Monday night on the Lakefront Trail in the Gold Coast.

About 7:15 p.m., the 28-year-old was sitting on the bike path near the 800-block of North Lake Shore Drive when he heard shots and felt pain, according to Chicago police.

He was shot in the buttocks and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, police said.

Two backyard shootings within four blocks of each other occurred a little over an hour apart early Monday on the South Side.

About 1 a.m., a man, 50, was standing in a backyard in the 9900-block of La Salle Street in Fernwood when he was shot by someone who opened fire from a blue Buick, police said.

An argument between two males resulted in an unidentified offender opening fire about 3:55 a.m. in the 3600-block of West 67th Street, Chicago police said.

A 35-year-old man was shot multiple times in the body and was taken to Holy Cross Hospital where they were listed in critical condition, police said.

A 24-year-old man was shot in the left side of his head and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was also listed in critical condition, police said.

How many of these shootings do not occur down on the Democrat’s black plantation? If the plantation owners and black overseers don’t care, why should I?

Close the hospitals. This will stop. It’s the Wild Animal Park with guns.

That old Indiana gun show loophole again. Maybe groot can tell the shooters that the Illinois Air National Guard has F-15s. That should settle them down.

"At least 65 people have been shot, six fatally, across Chicago since Friday evening, including several children."

Sure, If they would just "defund" and get rid of the cops all this mayhem would stop../s

Democrat run cities ... meanwhile their mainstream media wing pundits equate Trump supports to the Taliban.

Since this clearly doesn't fall under the purvey of the mayor or district attorney, it must fall under the Chicago tourism board.

It's all part of the cultural enrichment of the 'Windy City'.

But “guns are the problem.” Not the gangs and run of the mill criminals perpetrating these acts. Not the policies and actions of city “leadership.” Nope, let’s blame an inanimate object, a tool. Further, let’s punish the law abiding citizens who might want the means to protect themselves when/where “leadership” cannot or will not.
