CHICAGO -- Five people were killed, and 33 others wounded, in shootings in Chicago over the weekend through Tuesday morning.
The period was significantly more deadly than last weekend, when nine people were wounded and no one was killed. It was the first weekend in months in Chicago without a homicide.
Most of the violence this weekend was concentrated on the West and South sides. Almost half the shooting victims were wounded in just four police districts, which reported three shooting victims each: The 7th District in Englewood, the 9th (Deering) in Fuller Park and Gage Park, the 10th in Lawndale, and the 11th in Humboldt Park.
Saturday evening, a man was killed and another wounded in Brainerd on the South Side. They were sitting in a vehicle in the 9200-block of South Normal Avenue when four people approached and fired shots around 7:45 p.m., Chicago police said. One man, 30, was shot in the head and killed. The other man, 38, was seriously wounded.
Saturday afternoon, a 24-year-old man was fatally shot on the sidewalk in Austin on the West Side. He was shot in the chest and legs at 12:15 p.m. Saturday in the 1600-block of North Mayfield Avenue and taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he was pronounced dead.

Welcome to the jungle.
Howz about the police go on strike and state that they will remain so until Chicago removes the zombie ignirant s**t and places the police commissioner as acting mayor for a period of a minimum of two years? Then, we’ll see some results. And as for the zombie, have folks look the other way and wonder where she was disappeared to.
Not even half kidding.
Meh, no one cares... until there is a Republican in the White House. Then it will be a racist crisis caused by white supremacist Republicans!
Well they’d better hurry up if they wish to meet last year’s quota of 57 dead by the end of January.
So far:
Shot & Killed: 22
Shot & Wounded: 108
Total Shot: 130
Total Homicides: 24
Can’t wait till the summer
“Chicago shootings: 38 shot, 5 fatally, in weekend violence, CPD says”
Interesting . . .
We had no shootings in my area, although lots of guns just lurking in those cabinets waiting to jump out and start mowing folks down. . . well, unless you count some varmints that went on to their final reward.
Wonder what it could be??

How unusual. Must have been a big white supremacists convention in town
After a brief rest period the self-cleaning oven is back up and operating again.
If we try to stop them from shooting each other, we’re interfering with their culture! #KeepTheShootingGoing #ProtectIndigenousPeoples
I say its time for "stop and frisk" everyone on the streets, set up outdoor internment camps for holding anyone caught with an illegal weapon. if you're found to be in possession of an illegal weapon, you get one year hard labor, shoveling snow, cleaning up vacant lots, cleaning graffiti, ditches, cleaning up homeless camps.
and its not racism arresting criminals no matter what color they are. its not my problem the black community has decided not to police themselves.
Dodge City, Kansas was never this bad.
Those numbers would go up if they wouldn’t hold their weapons sideways.
Fallujah on Lake Michigan.
Middle East of the Midwest. Cue the crazy music
They keep it up and they’ll soon pass up the Chicago outfit in total killings..
Nobody ever takes the fall for the continual carnage that takes place in this shithole.
We need an ice age... Maybe if it was -30, no one would get shot... 🤓
They just need more marksmanship training.
