CHICAGO -- Chicago weekend shootings have left at least 21 shot, four fatally, police said.

A man was killed and a woman critically wounded in a shooting early Sunday morning in Grand Boulevard on the South Side. Just before 4:00 a.m., officers found the man and woman on the ground in the 4200 block of South State Street, Chicago police said. The man, 23, suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead, police said. The woman, 32, was struck in the lower back and taken to the same hospital in critical condition, police said.

A man was killed and four others were injured Saturday in a drive-by shooting on the city's South Side, the Chicago Police Department said. The victims were standing in an alley in the 8600-block of South Damen Avenue in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood around 3:20 p.m. when an unknown vehicle drove by and someone inside began shooting at the group, police said. A 23-year-old man sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the body and was transported to Christ Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified him as Tishawn Holliday. The other four victims are expected to be okay, police said. A 39-year-old man was shot in the left leg, a 24-year-old man was also shot in the left leg and foot and a 42-year-old man sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the body. All three were transported to Christ Hospital in varying conditions, according to police. A fifth person was transported to Little Company of Mary Hospital, CPD said.

There were 28 shot, four fatally, in Chicago last weekend.

I suppose they were all filling out job applications online on their phones when suddenly a gun randomly teleported in from nowhere and started firing.

So let’s make Chicago the “gun control” testing zone. Try any and all new legislation on this area and measure the results one year later. If it works in Chicago… (but don’t experiment on the whole nation).

Shouldn’t the opportunists be, “marching for their lives,” in Chicago and demanding that Beetle Juice, “DO SOMETHING?”

Curiously enough, THIS is never considered a “mass shooting” - when it’s typically a black-on-black incident.

Just business as usual in da hood.

Only blacks killed by whites lives’ matter. These victims are non-persons due the media’s institutional racism.

Wait'll July 4th weekend. The 4th itself happens to fall on a Monday this year.

I also expect the long hot summer will really kick in around that time.

Not their intention, but the most effective right wing propaganda is often the mainstream press.

I'm very familiar with that site. I live outside Shitcago. Just sayin' that count is going to go up. Don't be surprised if another 3-4 get killed by midnight and there are more shootings.

The weather here is relatively nice and that's when the hoodrats like to go out and shoot.

It's going to be 97 here on Tuesday and in the upper 80's to mid 90's the rest of the week.

The really big shooting weekends happen when it's hot outside. Looking at the next 10 days forecast for here in the Shitcagoland area, the shootings are about to go way up.

HeyJackass has it at 5 dead.
So far just a typical summer weekend in Chicago.

“6 killed and 19 wounded at the moment per HeyJackass!”

HeyJackass must have updated since I first looked.
Like inflation, if you blink the numbers go up.
Thanks for the correction, even before I read your post :)

Even Capone's gang didn't kill kids. In fact, they had a strict "no kids" policy. One of the men apparently broke that rule and was executed.

I actually have more respect for the Prohibition gangs than I do for the FBI now.

They have an article in todays NY Post that cops are leaving the NYPD in droves “record numbers”. It seems AOCs dream to dismantle the cops is coming true, not that she ever has to worry about being a victim of a violent crime.

The weather prediction below is rather apt after looking at that chart!

Exactly. Only 49 people were shot over the last two weekends in Chicago, but hey they got a Jan 6 Committee Clown Show that deserves more of their attention right now!
