Six people were killed and at least 23 others—including a 4-year-old girl—have been wounded in shootings across Chicago this Memorial Day weekend, police said.
The 4-year-old, identified by her family as Jacele Johnson, was shot about 8 p.m. Friday in the West Englewood neighborhood.
She and her 17-year-old cousin Romare Wilson were inside an SUV in the 7000 block of South Justine when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, according to their family and Chicago Police.
The girl was shot in the head and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where she was in critical condition, authorities said. The teen was shot in the chest and grazed by a bullet in the neck. He was in serious condition at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

I wonder how things are going in Baltimore and Ferguson?
Yeah but they were killed by their fellow blacks..so that’s all good, its sort of a rite of passage, you won’t see Sharpton or Jackson demanding justice or social justice groups saying how their black babies are being murdered in cold blood, as long as the one with the gun is black then high fives for everyone
I thought Chicago was a “Gun Free” city with a well established “Safe Streets” program in place, how could this be, Are they visiting Amish?
used to assume a headline like that would be chiraq. now i have to see if it’s or baltistan.
Black lives don’t matter.
Meanwhile, when the police try, they end up with a Ferguson or Baltimore. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Paging Al and Jesse.
“including a 4-year-old girl” Very sad.
I suppose her father will be upset.
Now that the police have had their backs broken, Baltimore and Ferguson should be able to compete very well with Chicago.
I am thinking of using the casualty counts to pick my Lotto numbers.

You are exactly RIGHT!I had thought that the mere passage of a”Law”would preclude this sort of mis-behavior??Apparently,somebody isn’t “Obeying”The Law???Sounds very similar to Obongo who”Selectively”calls for”Enforcement”????
Well I think they have those gun shot locators so that would for sure make a HUGE impact. Do I need a /s?
It is not a running total, nor does it update automatically from what I read.
Liberal Gun Control
And it’s only Sunday.
When does the outrage and looting begin?
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck feeling hot and gritty
These shootings must be because of the way the police dress.
I'm sure the teens will have a moment of silence tomorrow to solemnly remember the true meaning of Memorial Day........................................................................................................................................................................................................and then the 40 ouncers and thug guns come out and the fun starts anew.
But none of these dead blacks involved whites, including white policemen.
As a famous person once remarked,”At this point, what difference does it make, adding, “if we kill them with a gun or a forceps?”
