CHICAGO -- At least 54 people have been shot, seven fatally, in 4th of July holiday weekend shootings across the city, Chicago police said.

In fatal attacks this weekend, a woman was killed and a gunman was among two others wounded in a shootout Friday night in Chinatown, Chicago police said.

A man and another gunman were shooting at each other about 10:50 p.m. in the 2200-block of South Wentworth Avenue, police said. A 24-year-old woman was struck in the torso and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where she died due to her injuries.

Three people were shot, one fatally, in a backyard early Sunday morning in Grand Crossing on the South Side.

The attack occurred during a violent eight-hour span in Chicago during which at least 16 people were shot, two fatally, late Saturday into early Sunday.

The victims were with multiple people in the backyard of a house about 5:30 a.m. in the 7000-block of South Harper Avenue when someone approached and fired into the crowd, police said.

A 90-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition after he was shot Saturday morning in North Lawndale.

The man was found about 10 a.m. in the 1500-block of South Harding Avenue with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, police said.

Sunday night, a 10-year-old boy was wounded in his bedroom after shots were fired into an Englewood home in the 600-block of West Englewood Avenue at about 10:40 p.m. , police said. He was transported to Comer Children's Hospital in good condition.

Black lives don't matter to those who bleat black lives matter like mindless robots.

If 54 white people were shot in a suburban neighborhood, we would never hear the end of it.

And the democrat party and 15 republican senators want to take my right to self defense away from me so I would be defenseless against the murderous people of chicago.

HeyJackass body count is higher:
“4:00p Joyful Tally: 10 killed, 31 wounded
2021 weekend tally: 23 killed, 90 wounded”

I included HeyJackass’ tally from 2021 since I think it might be the record.
Since their tally ended at 4:00PM on Sunday, I think they have a real shot (pun intended) at the record.

None of this would happen if a farmer 100 miles away wasn’t allowed to own an AR-15. /sarcasm

African Americans muse be the most stupid people in America. They regularly vote in by far the worst mayors, governors, everything ever, to give them super high crime/murder rates, low economic growth, terrible standards of living etc etc.
Even the Latinos have figured it out. They just elected a Republican congresswoman in an 84% Latino district in South Texas, but blacks keep voting in evil losers like Lori Lightfoot.

Sounds like it would be safer to live in the UKRAINE than to live in Chicago.

Paid for by who?
If they are getting all this “free sh*t”, how come they are killing each other in record numbers mostly over money?
