CHICAGO -- At least 31 people have been shot, three fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.

On Friday night, two teens and a 12-year-old boy were wounded in a pair of shootings in Douglas.

The first shooting happened about 9:20 p.m. in the 500 block of East 31st Street. Someone in a silver sedan opened fire, striking the 12-year-old walking with a group of people and a 15-year-old girl sitting in a car, Chicago police said.

A 16-year-old boy was shot less than an hour later and about a half-mile away.

He was standing in a fast food restaurant parking lot in the 3400 block of South King Drive just before 10:15 p.m. when someone opened fire, police said.

About three hours later, an 18-year-old woman was shot and killed in Englewood.

The shooting happened in the 1300-block of West 72nd Street near Ada Street around 3:36 a.m., according to police.

An 18-year-old woman was sitting in a parked car when she was shot in the head, Chicago police said.

Last weekend, at least 19 people were shot, two fatally, in gun violence across Chicago, police said.

The Shots are trouncing the Fatalities. What a lopsided matchup.

Coach Gangstarap can’t be happy with his teams performance thusfar.

Yeah Brett, Duece Duece appears to be stuggling a bit at the moment.

Might be time to send in and Gat and Chopper.

Hey ABCGnus, here’s a clue, the GUNS didn’t fire themselves, the GangBangers pulled the trigger.

“Gun violence”… sigh…

Ain’t the gun.

It’s the people.

I don’t know the ethnicity of the individuals who perpetrated these crimes, it seems the media omits that fact, but I’m going to venture a guess that it was not Caucasian Iowa farm boys who decided to drive up to Chicago for a little party.

He was in front of Burger King, and police identified the shooter as Ronald McDonald!! 🤓

We don't have a gun problem; we have a behavior problem. And we have a behavior problem because we have a morals problem.
