CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 24 people have been shot, six fatally, in weekend violence across Chicago, police said.

A man was shot to death Sunday night while standing in the kitchen of a West Town home. The man, 20, was standing in the kitchen in the 2100-block of West Maypole Avenue about 9:35 p.m. when he was struck in the back by gunfire that came from the alley, Chicago police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he later died, police said. No one was in custody.

A child was shot Sunday night on Chicago's Southwest Side, the Chicago Police Department said. The shooting happened at about 8:43 p.m. in the Little Village neighborhood, police said. A boy, 12 years old, was standing on the sidewalk in the 3300-block of West 21st Street when two male offenders fired shots, police said. The child was transported to Stroger Hospital in good condition by the Chicago Fire Department with a gunshot wound to the right ankle. There was no one in custody and Area Four detectives are investigating, police said.

Last weekend, 32 people were shot, seven fatally, in gun violence incidents across the city.

Its spring time, so as temperatures rise, shootings will rise as well. The only question is - we know the temperature will go up, just how high will shootings increase?

“Last weekend, 32 people were shot, seven fatally, in gun violence incidents across the city.”


How about “Last weekend, 32 people were shot, seven fatally, in criminal violence incidents across the city.”

Simply different Cultural Norms.
I think we should not interfere and/or try to change other cultures to reflect ours. That is what all of the colonial powers tried to do and all that accomplished was making alienating the poor oppressed minorities.
We need to simply leave them alone.
And for God’s sake avoid most of their cities.

It should be quite obvious that since most of the victims are black men, it is clear that the mayor hates black men. Her choice of a husband also indicates her preference.

Keep voting for woke nutty politicians....they’ll promise financial security to all of the shooters...but no physical security to the victims.

Does anyone know if Chi-town is the murder capital of the world? If it’s not, it must be damn close to it. “Glad I live in Baltimore where it’s safe,” a friend wryly commented to me!

Again, poor marksmanship. My stars and garters, but it should be 24 shot, 24 dead. Those gangstas need to get with the program.

A simple switch from FMJ to hollow points would improve their numbers.

Guns just roam the streets all by themselves and randomly fire at people. That’s why it’s called “gun violence”.

Doing the work of Dr. Margaret Sanger (and Adolph Hitler). The two of them would be so happy.
Black Lives Matter -—— just as much as non-black lives.
