At least 19 people were shot, three of them fatally, in Chicago Tuesday, nearly half of the victims wounded in a shooting at Washington Park on the South Side.

Two men were killed and seven others were wounded when gunfire erupted after an argument broke out between two groups about 7:45 p.m. at Washington Park, 5531 S. King Drive, according to Chicago police. More than 30 shell casings were recovered at the scene and crime tape surrounded a baseball diamond. No arrests were reported. A $15,000 reward was being offered for information about the shooting.

Late Tuesday, a man in his 20s was shot and killed in North Lawndale on the West Side. He was standing in the street in the 2200 block of South Kolin Avenue when someone began shooting about 11:10 p.m., police said. He was shot twice in the chest and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died.

A 12-year-old boy was shot in the head about 40 minutes earlier while outside with an adult family member on the West Side, police said. They were in the 1800 block of West 21st Place about 10:30 p.m. when two people approached and opened gunfire. The boy was shot on the right temple and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

I do not see a problem here.
The people of Chicago voted for their leadership. Then even without looking past the headline, we know that most is not all the shooting victims are black as well a most of the shooters. In 2022 Chicago, most of these shooters will not be hunted down and the ones that are will either not be prosecuted and the ones that are will be given very lenient sentences.
Nope, not a problem for people outside of Mogadishu on lake Michigan.

Sounds like a fight broke out at an evening baseball game. Bloods vs. Crips?

Why don't they just be honest and report the composition of the groups ????

Yeah. Things heat up as the pennant race approaches. Too bad they’re defunding the umpires.

If your home address has Park in it, your chances of dying by gunshot is better than one in ten.

But there were 3 witnesses, however, all related, I believe:
