CHICAGO -- At least 33 people have been shot, eight fatally, in weekend shootings across Chicago, police said.
Two teens were shot, one fatally, Sunday afternoon while trying to buy a pair of shoes from a social media seller in West Pullman on the Far South Side. The teens, 17 and 18, were in a parked car about 2:05 p.m. in the 11900-block of South State Street when they met with the seller, Chicago police said. After the seller took money from them, he opened fire and struck both teens, authorities said. The 17-year-old boy was struck in the chest and pronounced dead, police said. The 18-year-old was struck in the elbow and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was listed in good condition.
Hours later, three people were killed in separate shootings within minutes Sunday night in Gresham and Humboldt Park on the South and West Sides. About 7:05 p.m., a 35-year-old man was in the 700-block of South Spaulding Avenue when he was shot in the face, police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, but he later died from his injuries, police said.
About 15 minutes later, another person, whose age was unknown, was in the 7600 block of South May Street when he was struck in the body by gunfire, police said. He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, officials said.
Last weekend, 21 people were shot, four fatally, in gun violence incidents across the city.

Those gun laws have an affect....
I think the mayor’s opinion of these shootings is that violence in black neighborhoods is better than living “white” (i.e., civilized in a Western way).
“trying to buy a pair of shoes from a social media seller”
Buying stolen goods and got robbed/murdered?
They got disrespected
It’s like every weekend in Chicago, is Chinese New Years.
They show 34 shot, 8 fatally, 1 additional shot vs. ABC’s numbers. I’ll go with HJ, their numbers are generally solid.
When keepin it real goes wrong…
But, but, but it’s all caused by “white supremists”
I used to care. I really did.
Not anymore.

BLM except in Chicago
>>>Those gun laws have an affect...
and guns don’t shot themselves
WHO cares!?
The citizens of Chicago obviously don’t. Why should I? You’ll never find me in that SH!T HOLE City.
If the shootings and deaths rise to the hundreds or thousands NOT A THING will change.
DICKENS: “....reduce the surplus population”
In ghetto culture, being “dissed” or disrespected, is considered very offensive. And the common response to being disrespected is violence.
But this is one of those issues that we are not allowed to talk about.
Let me guess, 25 of 33 shootings were black on black?
