CHICAGO -- At least 30 people have been shot, four fatally, in shootings across Chicago since Friday night, police said.

After being struck by a car Friday evening while riding a scooter in South Shore, a man tried to run but was gunned down by an occupant of the Hyundai Sonata that collided with him, Chicago police said.

Two men were shot, one fatally, near a CTA Red Line stop on the Near South Side early Saturday morning, police said.

A person was found shot to death inside a car early Sunday in Englewood on the South Side. The person was found in the passenger seat of a car with a gunshot wound to the left side of his head about 12:20 a.m. in the 7000 block of South Ada Street, Chicago police said.

In nonfatal attacks, a 17-year-old boy was wounded in a drive-by shooting Sunday night in Chicago Lawn - the fourth minor wounded by gunfire in less than six hours on the South Side. About 7:45 p.m.

A 14-year-old girl was critically wounded after she was shot in the face in Gresham Sunday. The girl was inside a residence in the 1200-block of W. 81st Street just before 5 p.m. when she was struck in the face by gunfire, according to Chicago police.

A 13-year-old old boy was shot while allegedly breaking into a vehicle Sunday in Chicago's Oakland neighborhood, according to police. The teen was allegedly seen breaking into a Kia just after 2:30 p.m. in the 3700-block of S. Langley Avenue when he was confronted by the owner, police said. The vehicle's owner, who is a valid CCL holder, fired shots toward the teen, striking him in the leg.

Has Lori Lightfoot had anything to say about these severe problems in her city?

I get the impression, that Lori Lightfoot is a real lightweight when dealing with her city. Yet I’m sure she will win re-election, if she wants to run again.

I would say in some of those hospitals, getting gunshot victims is an everyday occurrence.

It should be noted that the people being shot or killed in Chicago and other Democratic controlled urban areas are murderers themselves. The remaining, demoralized police don’t do thorough investigations, make few arrests, there are almost no trials, convictions or imprisonments. The only “justice” available to the aggrieved is violent revenge. The cycle continues.

Yup. Many of the murders in Dem hellholes probably result in a net saving of lives.

Message to the Kia owner: Always aim for center of mass if you do not want the thug to come back for more.

I understand that the military sends prospective medics to $hitcago for combat training.

Who pays for all this medical surgery? The doctors there must be super rich.

Memphis, Tennessee, manipulates the data and I would venture a guess that the statistics are much the same for that city. The demographics are the same.
