CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 98 people have been shot, 17 fatally, in gun violence across Chicago since Wednesday evening during the extended Fourth of July holiday weekend, police said.

A security alert was issued by the University of Chicago Sunday morning after three men were shot on a sidewalk in front of the adult hospital's emergency room right after 5 a.m. Witnesses reported that the gunshots were fired from a dark-colored SUV.

The shooting is one of several that happened overnight.

A man died in an exchange of gunfire Saturday night in South Shore.

The 25-year-old was walking on train tracks about 8:50 p.m. near the 1700-block of East 71st Street when two people approached him and exchanged gunfire with him, Chicago police said.

The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his body and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died, police said.

Counted as “gun violence” and “Mass shootings” for political purposes, but totally ignored when looking at source of such violence and for actual actions to reduce violence.

Apparently,
Black Lives Matter.... only when they can be used to push an agenda...

Isn’t gun control on someone’s agenda? So could it now be #bdm? (Black deaths matter)

The problem I’m seeing from Jackass.com is a lot of these shots are not printed on the torso.

Chicago shooters aren’t known for their accuracy, but killing 17 out of 98 victims is a major improvement.

And the Cook County courts.....but mostly Crimesha:

Prosecutors have charged a man with shooting at a car occupied by two off-duty Chicago police officers on the Near West Side last month. Derrien Johnson, 18, was on pretrial release for two felony gun cases in juvenile court at the time of the incident on June 3, officials said. He is the 19th person accused of shooting, killing, or trying to shoot or kill someone in Chicago this year while on pretrial release.

That "No-or-Low-Bail Initiative" is sure working wonders in Chicago.

Tribes need to improve the shot to dead ratio. Maybe the CPD could offer training. Need the dead for organ transplants.

98/17. The city needs to set up a shooting program to improve their accuracy. The shootings will be a self-eliminating problem.

Things will improve when the ghetto thug death rate exceeds the welfare baby birthrate.

Right? This leftist insanity everywhere is trying. At least we’ll be prepared mentally. Meanwhile leftists will be eaten by those higher up on the intersectionality scale and won’t know what’s happening.

Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen, just another weekend in the combat zone, the free fire zone. The whole situation reminds me of these song lyrics by Phil Collins:

Here we are all gathered in what seems
To be the center of the storm
Neighbors once friendly now stand each side
Of the line that has been drawn

They’ve been fighting here for years
But now there’s killing on the streets
While small coffins are lined up sadly
Now united in defeat.
