Fifty-four people were shot, nine of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reports six of the nine shooting fatalities occurred during a four-hour time-frame Saturday morning.
A 29-year-old man and a 34-year-old man were killed in a drive-by shooting Saturday morning at 12:15 a.m. The shooting occurred “in the 1900-block of South Saint Louis Avenue,” leaving the 34-year-old dead at the scene and the 29-year-old fatally wounded.
The 29-year-old died at the hospital.
At 12:5o a.m. police discovered 31-year-old Marwin Sanders-Price unresponsive “in the 200-block of East 121st Place.” He had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A 21-year-old man was fatally shot “in the 3100 block of West Arthington Street” about 2:40 a.m. He was in an argument with a woman when someone walked up and opened fire, striking him multiple times.
A 33-year-old man standing by his vehicle “in the 800-block of North Orleans Street” was shot and killed in a drive-by incident about 3:50 a.m. At about the same time, a 27-year-old tow truck driver was shot and killed while trying to provide service “in the first block of West 57th Street.”
Breitbart News noted 60 were shot last weekend in the city, with over 3,100 people shot in the city between January 1, 2021, and September 7, 2021.
At least another 56 were shot through Thursday of last week.

geebus!!! that’s an average of 50-60 each week!! That’s like a war zone. Call out the national guard, declare marshal law and search every home. Do Giuliani’s stop and frisk. Offer rewards for turning in anyone with a handgun. Build a new jail first.
I live in Buffalo and we take notice when there is one shooting in a weekend.
She better hurry up and close more small businesses. Small business control NOW!
We need to do a study to find out why guns are more violent in Chicago than every other place in America. There must be a reason all the violent guns move to Chicago.
Thank GOD they only shoot each other on weekends.
It’s Indiana’s fault.
1900 South St. Louis ave is at the corner of Ogden - which is 2 miles from the starting point of the Historic Route 66
I suppose the gangsters weren’t concerned with historical significance.....
It’s the Arabs fault for selling that grape soda to the chillrens.
Gets ‘em all fired up.
Light-in-the-loafers.
And she is dressed like a punk (C)rap singer and doing karaoke in a strip bar?
Naw, war zones are not as dangerous as a Dimocratic controlled city.
But yet peaceful protestors taking a guided tour of the Capitol building are “the worst threat evah!” According to th left
“Build a new jail first”.
No need. The ones that they have are mostly empty because few get charged of sentenced to prison.
Of course, that won’t stop another Illinois taxpayer funded project.
“search every home”
Rather overreaching.
Perhaps:
I now sentence you to five years in prison.
Would you like a two-month reduction if you agree to participate in the Illinois & partners stop & frisk program?
Just seeing a reference to Lightfoot and a strip bar in the same sentence made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Many Chicago gun crimes are committed about a block from a major street.
Perhaps nearby streets might get patrolled more often, especially at night, or given security cameras.
How’s this on a yearly basis relative to prior years?
“am”
If living in ‘rat-run city, when it gets dark stay indoors.
What did Trump actually do about black on black violence in Chicago. He was right to call attention to it but what action did he take to remedy the situation?
