Three people were killed and seven others were wounded by gunfire Thursday in Chicago.

A man, 22, was killed during a home invasion in South Shore. He was in an apartment about 2 a.m. in the 2000 block of East 72nd Place when a man entered through a backdoor and began arguing with him, Chicago police said. The intruder fired and hit the man several times in the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A man was found shot to death inside a home in Greater Grand Crossing on the South Side. He was found with a gunshot wound to the head about 5:15 p.m. in the 7100 block of South Lafayette Avenue, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Just over an hour later, a man was killed and another was wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side. The men, 18 and 25, were standing on a sidewalk about 6:30 p.m. in the 8600 block of South State Street when someone in a dark vehicle drove up and someone inside opened gunfire, police said. The 18-year-old was shot in the abdomen and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died. The older man suffered a gunshot wound to the left shoulder and was taken to the same hospital in good condition. No arrests were reported.

A 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were shot in East Garfield Park on the West Side. They were in the 200 block of North Kedzie Avenue about 3:30 p.m. when someone approached in a red vehicle, police said. A man got out of the car and shot at them. They were transported to Stroger Hospital, where they were listed in good condition. No one was in custody.

30% kill ratio is about standard for the savages...

A .300 batting average, not bad.

What is the one thing I have in common with Lightfoot and Biden?

Nobody cares

Agreed, that’s a slight improvement from most weekend tallies.

I think the kill ratios are because Chicago has a world class trauma center. Wasn’t the military sending medics there to train how to treat gunshot wounds before shipping them off to war? Still though. They could use some more range time in the hood.

I believe they still get training there.

Running while shooting a sideways gun without aiming isn’t the best method for kill ratio.

It does seem good for killing the 6 year old girl on the porch though...

NASCAR plans to hold a street race in Chicago next year. It is one of the most dangerous cities in America. Makes no sense to me.

I’m sure their marksmanship would improve if they’d stop holding their guns sideways like some kind of two bit pimps.

30% kill rate, they need to get it up to 100%. They need to practice more.

Crime in the US proceeding exactly as the Democrats want it to. Their ultimate plan: The police can no longer keep people safe so we must send in our military or UN “peace keepers” to restore order. Also we then must suspend all elections and Congressional sessions until peace is restored.
