CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least twenty were shot, three fatally, in weekend shootings across Chicago.
A teenage boy was shot and killed in North Lawndale on Sunday night, police said. The 16-year-old boy was walking on a sidewalk in the 2200-block of South Keeler Avenue just after 8:30 p.m. when two men got out of a car and started shooting, according to Chicago police. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was later pronounced dead. No one is in custody, and detectives are investigating.
A man died after he was shot Saturday while sitting in a car in Lawndale on the West Side. Orlando Ware, 41, was in the vehicle about 1:20 a.m. in the 4800 block of West Lexington Street when someone in a silver sedan drove by and a person inside opened fire, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner's office said. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his body and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died, police said. No arrests were reported.
In nonfatal shootings, three people were injured, two critically, on Saturday night on Chicago's Southwest Side, police said.

So the police cannot kill black men for committing crimes but they can kill each other
“Sweet Home Chicago”. Wouldn’t it make more sense if guns were shooting other guns rather than shooting people?
Where are the white people at?
Yes. the Left is happier that way. Only they are allowed to mess with the blacks on their plantation.
Nice weather brings out the gang wars....
They sure aren’t in the TV commercials no more.
Violence. Just violence. Not “gun violence.”
Notice how cops are the last on the scene of crimes. That’s a top reason for the 2a, not that any Democrat is Chicago would understand that.
“You want to find an outlaw, hire an outlaw. You want to find a Dunkin’ Donuts, call a cop.” - Derek Smalls (Raising Arizona)
ABC 7 is completely on the side of the Criminals in Chicago - Along with NBC 5 and WGN Channel 9 they are 100% anti-police. If the criminals riot and loot it is reported as a “peaceful demonstration”
Pfffttt. Just wait till it warms up. Spring is coming and there’s a whole lot if pent up killing waiting to be done.
I say this every year, and every year it’s true.
Gangs generally hate the cold weather.
Besides, who actually wants to be a cop these days? Especially in places like Chicago.
What they need is some stricter gun laws or laws against killing.
Lousy aim this past weekend, even for bangers. Where do they get all the ammo?
Have you seen “Uncommon Valor”? Tex Cobb plays a vet that may be the inspiration for Smalls.
So white supremacists disguised as blacks are freely shooting people of color in Chicago. Mayor Lightfoot, make the police stop them./s/s/s/s/s
I wonder if they publish stories on knife or fist violence.
