CHICAGO -- At least 27 people have been shot, five fatally, in gun violence across Chicago this weekend, police said.

A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot Sunday morning in Douglas. Responding officers found Darrien Dallen with a gunshot wound to the chest about 9:10 a.m. in the 3700-block of South Michigan Avenue, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was taken to Comer Children's Hospital, where he died.

At least three other teens were wounded, including a 15-year-old boy in New City and a 16-year-old boy in Roseland.

The younger boy was shot near the groin about 8 p.m. Sunday while in the 1900-block of West 47th Street and was hospitalized in fair condition, police said.

The 16-year-old boy was in the 100-block of West 92nd Street about 11:10 p.m. Saturday when someone in a black sedan fired shots, striking him in the arm, police said. He was taken in good condition to Little Company of Mary Hospital in Oak Lawn.

Two men were fatally shot in separate attacks Saturday in Austin on the West Side. Around 12:30 a.m., a man, 39, was found on the ground in the 4900-block of West Hubbard Street with a gunshot wound to the torso. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died, police said. About 12 hours later, a 32-year-old man was outside in the 5200 block of West Adams Street when four people stepped out of a gray sedan and at least one of them opened fire, striking him multiple times. He was taken to the same hospital, where he died, according to police.

. Last weekend, at least 20 people were shot, one fatally, across the city.

These are black on black shootings, so those pushing gun control are unconcerned about these shootings.

the sickest part of all this is that there are literally hundreds of cold blooded murderers running free around the city.

And they will never be caught or punished for these murders. I’m sure there are many who have committed more then one murder.

I wonder what the solve rate is for homicides in the city of Chicago? I remember as a kid being told that most all bank robberies are solved so it was never worth it for criminals trying to rob banks but now I believe most bank robberies net a couple thousand in (?marked) cash and a great number are never solved. Thoughts?

With all these weekend shooting totals I occasionally wonder what the Monday to Friday numbers look like.

I’m seeing various numbers...and some tricks...but it looks like ~45-50% for white victims, and ~20-25% for black victims.

"These are black on black shootings, so those pushing gun control are unconcerned
about these shootings."

Demented democrats consider the black on black killings as late term abortions.

Things will get worse when the new mayor, who is even softer on crime, takes over.

What time do these guns come out every day so I will know to stay away during those times? I would think every person would stay home while the guns are out killing and conducting their gun violence.
