CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 14 people have been shot, three fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.

In the latest fatal shooting, a 17-year-old boy died at University of Chicago Hospital Saturday after he and a 16-year-old boy were shot in the 6400 block of South King Drive at around 5:54 p.m.

According to Chicago police, the teens were standing on the street when they were both shot by an unknown suspect. The 17-year-old was shot in the chest and the 16-year-old was shot in the arm.

A woman was critically injured while trying to flee from a drive-by shooting on Chicago's South Side, police said.

The shooting happened in the West Pullman neighborhood's 12400 block of South Halsted Street at about 12:30 a.m., police said. A 19-year-old woman was walking on the sidewalk when a blue Dodge Charger pulled up, and someone inside fired shots.

Police said the victim, shot in the head, ran to a nearby business, where she collapsed. The Chicago Fire Department transported her to Advocate Christ Hospital in critical condition.

Last weekend, at least 20 people were shot, four fatally, including a Chicago police officer, CPD said.

The only gun control that matters is “controlling” the person holding the gun.

One way Chicago could substantially reduce the gunfire is to pass laws that don’t offend the 2nd Amendment.

One such law could be that if you were caught using a gun while committing a crime you would be immediately deported to a work camp in an Amazon Jungle for 5 years.

A good example of your life in such a camp would be Papillon. All male persons in the worst precincts in Chicago should be forced to watched Papillon.

Just wait until the Hispanic refugees get organized. The whole city will sound like a rolling artillery barrage.

I don’t think the Hissies will be taking over TEXAS. I was in a very popular restaurant in Austin yesterday. The place was full of Indians and I don’t mean Cochise and his squaws. I saw Austin’s future there. “Refugees” all preparing to run for public office or get some kind of government jobs. A lot will become part of Bidenskyyy’s “87,000”.
