Shootings over the Fourth of July weekend left 10 people dead and 55 others wounded, a toll lower than last year but one marked by an intense stretch of gun violence over eight hours on one of the nights.
Among those killed was 7-year-old Amari Brown, shot in the chest as he watched fireworks near his father's home in Humboldt Park late Saturday night. Police say they believe the attack was aimed at the father, whom they described as a ranking gang member.

“Unexpected”
There are wars between countries that don’t have daily KIAs this high.
Rahm has some big problems in his city.
What did he mean when he said Chick Fil A didn’t represent Chicago values? What Chicago values? Gang shootings?
That’s what we need more gun laws!
See, they work.
The only document that works is the bill of rights and the progressives fear.
I’m sure that white privilege will be blamed for this.
.
It’s almost as if the cops are on the take — to stand aside while the drug gangs have it out.
But...corrupt cops in Chicago? Nah. Can’t be.

The Confederate flag went on another rampage.
“Among those killed was 7-year-old Amari Brown, shot in the chest as he watched fireworks near his father’s home in Humboldt Park late Saturday night.”
Similar to the violence that was the beginning of the end for Al Capone era, if memory serves.
Now the gangster is in the mayors office.
I’m sure BamBam is on his way to Chiraq to deliver the eulogies.
“The Confederate flag went on another rampage. “
And all those guns got all excited over the fireworks and just started shooting everything in sight!
And The General Lee was out on the Southside streets all night, right?
This is more than what caused them to arrest hundreds in Waco and hold them for months without a chance at bail. I guess the entire city of Chicago should join them. /s
This is beyond unreal. Another weekend of endless black on black violence in Chicago, but the alphabet networks are reporting endlessly on the debate over the Confederate flag.
SMH...
Even the Mob stopped killing each other because it was bad for business...
You would think the gangbangers would also figure that out...
Chicago PD has posted a picture (above) of the suspect in all shootings..call if you have any information and remember, this flag should be considered armed and dangerous and waving..developing..
Old Town isn’t one of the usual neighborhoods. Used to be fairly safe up there.
I'm sure when the cops show up to these homicide scenes, they're already quite familiar with the victim and aren't exactly mourning his loss. And then you have a hundred people standing outside who "din see nuffin!" What are they to do?
I saw someone called it a ‘self cleaning oven’...
Exactly correct.
An end to the drug gangs would mean an end to the bribes.
The cops don’t want that.
