CHICAGO -- At least 34 people have been shot, seven fatally, in weekend gun violence across Chicago, police said.

A child was shot and critically injured inside a South Side home on Sunday afternoon, Chicago police said.

Earlier Sunday, a man was killed and another was wounded in another Englewood shooting, police said.

The two were shot while standing on a sidewalk around 1:10 a.m. in the 7400 block of South Stewart Avenue, according to police.

One man, whose age has not been reported, was fatally shot in the head and the other, a 50-year-old, was in good condition after he was shot in the leg, police said.

A 29-year-old man was found dead in an alleyway around 1 a.m. in the Washington Park neighborhood, police said.

He was shot multiple times in the 5600 block of South Wabash Avenue, according to police.

No one is in custody, police said.

Last weekend, at least 34 people were shot, three fatally, in gun violence across Chicago, police said.

Only 7 killed out of 34 shot? That’s barely a .200 batting average.

Well, it seems they are having a hard time breaking out of that 20% killed to shot percentage. They’ve been in that slump for a while now.

“At least 34 people have been shot, seven fatally, in weekend gun violence...”


But it’s not ‘gun violence’ is it? It is criminal violence and most likely young black male criminal violence.

Get the guns out of the hands of the families in their homes having a meal and then playing Monopoly or Candyland.
Get the US Army in there to wrench the guns away from them.
/S

Exactly how many ex-cons, homeboy drug dealers and gang members finished their waiting period and got their weapon registered legally?
I’ll wait.

The mayor needs to tell the criminals to stop breaking the law.

The retarded Chicago moron electorate elects retarded morons.

As long as the voters elect people based on skin color, gender and sexual preference instead of their resume and merit in the state of Illinois these killings will continue.

Makes one long for a dictatorship. Democracy is destroying democracy in Illinois and California.

Instead of a dictatorship, declare martial law and enforce every single law and every single order declared by the Army General in charge of martial law.

I've said it before but getting a gun requires saving money , hopefully from honest work, then selecting one and paying for it, and waiting after numerous papers to sign and then you finally get it....

not one of these little feral murderers have legal guns...
