CHICAGO -- At least 21 people have been shot, five fatally, in Chicago gun violence over the weekend, police said.

One person was dead after being struck by gunfire while in a car Friday evening in Calumet Heights on the Far South Side. The male, whose age wasn't immediately known, was in a car about 6:30 p.m. in the 9300-block of South Harper Avenue when he was struck in the head by gunfire, Chicago police said.

A few hours later, a man was fatally shot Friday night in East Chatham on the South Side. The man, 27, was sitting in a parked car in the 8400-block of South Ingleside Avenue about 9:40 p.m. when someone approached and fired shots, striking him in the chest, police said.

Three people were shot early Sunday morning at a gathering in Old Irving Park on the Northwest Side. Two men and a woman were inside a venue in the 4200-block of West Irving Park Road when a gunman entered and opened fire about 1:10 a.m., police said.

Nine people were shot, three fatally, in gun violence last weekend.

Who cares.

They don’t even care so why would we?

If one black person is killed by one white person ANYWHERE, that’s what matters to the media and even Blacks!

Never understood that second one :)

And there I was thinking the days of Al Capone were bad. These current hoodlums in Chicago make the St Valentine’s Day Massacre look like fireworks.

.....”CHICAGO — At least 21 people have been shot, five fatally, in Chicago gun violence over the weekend, police said.”

....Yawn.....not my problem....sorry for the innocents who get caught in the crossfire, but until the authorities crack down seriously on these gangbangers, this type of headline will recur over and over and over again....

Now we’re talking, finally starting to post some respectable numbers again. Fatality ratio approaching 25%. Way to go Chiraq, that range time is really paying off.

Okay, Philly, you will not simply walk away with this thing. Outscoring Chicago is going to take great effort.

They need more target practice and larger caliber guns.
