Chicago shootings: 8 shot, 5-month-old girl among 3 killed in weekend violence, police say

CHICAGO -- Chicago weekend shootings have left at least 8 shot, three fatally, police said.

A 5-month-old girl has died after she was shot while sitting in the back seat of a car in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood Friday. Police said that at about 6:45 p.m. the baby was in a vehicle in the 7700-block of South South Shore Drive when an unknown vehicle approached the car and someone inside opened fire. The baby was struck in the head and taken to Comer Children's Hospital in critical condition and died shortly after, police said. The baby's mother told a victim advocate her daughter was on the way home at the time of the shooting.

“I spoke with this mother. Yes, she's very distraught," said crisis responder Andrew Holmes. "That's a five month old baby. Nine months she carried that baby, nourished that baby. And it take a damn fool to discharge that weapon and take baby's life."

Holmes reminded those responsible of the number of POD cameras in the area that may have captured the shooting and could lead to their capture.

"I hope you don't have no children yourself. Because if you do, you shouldn't sleep at night, you should just turn yourself here knowing you got to look at your child every night. And you done take this lady's child," he said. "The baby rested right now, but ain't gonna be no peace with that family the rest of their life."

I tend to count a “WEEKEND” from Friday night at 6 PM to Monday at 6 AM.

This is a report-—and it is only Sat AM.

Well that’s all over now. There will be no more shootings in Chicago now that the gun law has been signed. Hallelujah!!

This is terriable, the weekend is Friday 5PM - Sunday 11:59PM. Friday night was about average in the open air drug markets of chicago. The same gangs fought over the same spaces. The same gangs let their conflicts affect the innocent. The Chicago Police Department once again sat on their asses and refused to clear the streets of the drug merchants.

Plenty of time for the ChiCongo Shooting Gallery to catch-up to more stats.

One sixers are a particularly troubling radical extremist bunch problem. Or at least that’s what we’ve been told. As some other keen FReeper has noted, and this is not the exact statement but, quit trying to reason with them. THEY are not reasonable entities.

Maybe this carnage will stop if democrats take more weapons away from law abiding white people in rural communities.

If only FJB had been able to sign the bipartisan gun safety bill into law 6 months ago.

The Chicago weekend feral shooting binge has just started. They still have Saturday and Sunday to go. Saturday and Sunday nights, these feral yoof get high on vaping THC or smoking MJ. Grab their pathetic weapons and go out shooting for fun. Any imagined beef will do to fire weapons in the general direction of gang X hanging out on the street.

Then they drive off laughing manically/ Stoned to the gills.

The United States doesn’t have a “gun problem.” It has a “some people problem.”
