Apr 2, 2010 1:11 pm US/Eastern 5 Dead, 25 Hurt In Chicago Shootings In 36 Hours CBS News Interactive: Guns In America CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Record-setting warmth has brought a festive, summerlike mood to Chicago over the past couple of days, but it has also led to a rash of gun violence that has left at least five people dead and at least 25 injured in 36 hours.
Fifteen of the victims were shot in just two hours, many of them within a few blocks on Englewood.
Early Friday morning, as the temperature dipped only to the 60s, one person was killed and six were wounded in three shootings within a few blocks in the Englewood neighborhood.
First, a man was shot in the shoulder at about 11:15 p.m., and later died, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. Brian Moore, 30 was pronounced dead at 1:38 a.m.
A few blocks away a short time later, police responded to reports of multiple gunshot victims at 12:49 a.m. It turned out that four men in their 20s had been shot, and they were taken to various local hospitals in serious to critical condition, Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said.

Don’t see what the big deal is
DC did that good on ONE shooting and for kickers, the get away driver was 14 and the main shooter was out because they couldn’t get a warrant for him on a murder couple of weeks ago.
What Daley will say, “Tink of how much worser it wuld be wit tout gun control.”
Englewood's a tough neighborhood...
Just having a little fun with you, at your expense.
the thieving Chicago Machine runs the country now....and the constitution be DAMNED!!!
Yeah its pretty rough from January to March
It’s weird how they tell the temp at the time of shootings. Global warming is to blame. LOL!
There must be something wrong with this article, it can’t be right, guns are NOT allowed in Chicago we all know that. Right?
No suprise here. Just look at the trend last summer. SHTF situation out here regardless if this country has civil upheaval or not. High unemployment, breakdown of family, morals out the door, crime has increased in Chi-town and metro area. MacDonald gun decision at SCOTUS can’t come soon enough. Regardless, if I’m heading into city it’s with a throwaway in a body wrap and in backseat my black bag of dirty tricks with the new and improved Mac edition.
I thought gun laws were loosened up? I seem to remember reading something about that.

It just didn't feel that cold to me most of the time this winter.
after DC gun ban was lifted by the supreme court, people in Chicago filed suit....Chicago said NO DEAL!!!
so now Chicago and its draconian gun laws are before the Supreme court. we don't know how the justices will vote on this one...time will tell. the court is scheduled to make a decision in July or August.
Maybe in a month or so, Nancy Pelosi and the Congressional Black Caucus will take a walk down Englewood, singing Kumbayah. Nancy may want to consider trading that gavel for a gat.
I guess lead from guns kills more young than lead from toy paint.
How many died from painted toys? Black youth are culturally expendable when shot on the street the same as black unborn aborted with taxpayer money in hospitals
Better keep your gun in a locked box in the car trunk. (that’s required in Chicago where only the crooks have guns!)
