Chicago shootings: 33 shot, 5 fatally, in weekend violence, CPD says

[Missourian]

Race doesn't matter right Klansmen?

It apparently does to the media.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Your subset is small... so really it's not. You're talking about guns recovered from crimes that can also be traced... I'm betting you're looking at a very small pool. Does the article in the NYT say the total number of guns they looked at?

Well why don't you tell us what it is.

 

[Missourian]

Well why don't you tell us what it is.

Better question.... Why doesn't the article you cited?

Shhhhh! Maybe no one will pay attention, again.

Or, there's no political hay to make out of this.

CHICAGO -- At least 33 people have been shot, five fatally, in weekend violence across Chicago, police said.​

​

The youngest homicide victim was a 16-year-old boy shot Saturday evening near "The Bean" statue in the Loop, leading Mayor Lori Lightfoot to impose a curfew for unaccompanied minors on weekends at Millennium Park.​

​

Declaring the city "cannot allow any of our public spaces to become platforms for danger," Lightfoot said unaccompanied minors won't be allowed there after 6 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday, unless they're with "at least one responsible adult."​

​

Two people were arrested shortly after 16-year-old Seandell Holliday was shot dead while crowds gathered near "The Bean," police said. Seandell was shot in his chest and pronounced dead at Lurie Children's Hospital.​

​

Later Saturday night, two more people were shot in the Loop after police said two children opened fire on a group of people shortly before midnight in the 300-block of South State Street. A man was shot in the neck and chest, while another man, 18, was shot in the hand.​

​

Shootings in the downtown area have increased this year. So far this weekend, five of the 31 shootings victims were in the 1st police district, which covers the Loop and Near South Side areas. Shootings in the district are up 60% over last year through May 8, according to police statistics. All other categories of major crime - including murder, robbery, theft and battery - are also up in the downtown police district.​

​

Nearly a third of shooting victims this weekend were in two police districts on the West Side: the 10th (Ogden) and 11th (Harrison) districts.​

​

Other fatal shootings this weekend since 5 p.m. Friday:​

​

- A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed in Englewood on the South Side. He was standing near a sidewalk around 7:25 p.m. Friday when shots rang out in the 6900-block of South Ada Street, police said. He was shot in his chest and armpit area and pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.​

​

- A gunman shot two men, one of them fatally, after their vehicles collided Friday evening near Douglas Park in the Lawndale neighborhood. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. in 1200 block of South California Avenue, police said. One of the men, 40, was shot in the chest and died Mount Sinai Hospital. The other man, also 40, was hospitalized in good condition.​

​

- Saturday evening, a 19-year-old man was shot to death in a Washington Park home. He was inside the home in the 5700-block of South Indiana Avenue when someone fired shots around 5:30 p.m, police said. He was taken to the University of Chicago with a gunshot wound to the head and pronounced dead.​

​

- Saturday afternoon, a man was fatally shot in West Englewood on the South Side. He was near a sidewalk in the 6500-block of South Ashland Avenue when someone opened fire and struck the 34-year-old around 4:30 p.m., police said. He was hit several times and taken to the University of Chicago, where he was pronounced dead.​

​

- The youngest person wounded this weekend was a 13-year-old boy shot Sunday in the South Shore neighborhood. He was shot while standing on a sidewalk with a group of people in the 7800-block of South Essex Avenue around 1:45 a.m., police said. He was hospitalized in fair condition with a gunshot wound to his buttocks at Comer Children's Hospital.​

​

Last weekend, 24 people were shot, six fatally.​

Shhhhh.

We need to focus on FBI groomed white shooters like the Buffalo kid.

White Supremacy must remain the “biggest threat” to blacks.

That is just Chicago, what about other liberal cities where violence happens all the time.. Savages will be savages, but when a white goes savage, then all hell is to be paid.

And you have to be beyond a fucking retard to believe this sob won.
He never won there is proof of it, and it can’t be denied.

Sure...but it's two minutes out of state. Point being the assumption that is being made is criminals are buying guns in Indiana...but a lot of that number could be explained by folks moving from NW Indiana into the greater Chicago area and their legally purchased guns being stolen.

Gary and Hammond have turned from pretty nice places to shitholes...while western Chicago has seen a resurgence... Even Cicero looks remarkably nice these days.

So far every weapon that i have purchased from a gun shop , requires me to have an instate drivers license and a background check from the ATF&E. I dont think gun shops will break the law and get either 5 years in jail a $250,000 dollar fine or both, just to make a gun sale.

There are a lot more guns in all of Montana than in Chicago. Why are there so many more people being shot and killed in Chicago than the entire state of Montana?

 

[Mr Natural]

Another slow weekend in Chicago.

How many drugs are being pumped into Montana?

Oh, so all these Black people are being forced to do drugs and shoot each other while they're high on drugs. Wow. Sounds like all those rednecks in Montana are making smarter choices than those stupid Black druggies in Chicago.

money.

 

[jasonnfree]

33 killed sounds like a lot of people. Trump and his 'team' only killed 5 or 6 policemen on insurrection day. The big difference though is that these Chicago guys were criminals. This trump asshole took a pledge to defend, not to kill others because he lost an election. Notice there's not one bit of evidence after a year and a half that the election against Biden was rigged.

Five or six police officers? WTF are you getting your news from, the Fairy Godmother? Trump never killed anybody in his life. Why do you leftists lie and think you can get away with it in a political forum?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Not many, and do you know why? Because most of the people there don't want them. Legal or illegal, you can only sell products people are willing to buy. That's why you don't find makeup being sold in hardware stores.

Show us Trump's words on January 6th telling people to kill cops.

That's good Ray, but whites are the number one consumers of drugs and yet we don't see them being sold in white neighborhoods. Why is that Ray?

What makes you think that? Plenty of drugs are sold in white neighborhoods too, it's just that white drug sellers and users are more civilized and don't draw police attention. There are no turf wars, gangs or people ripping other people off so their exchanges are relatively quiet.

It is not allowed to be sold in white communities and it is allowed in black communities to keep it there and out of the white ones. The police are in black communities to contain crime, not prevent or stop crime.

My comment is about your delusion that drugs are not sold in white neighborhoods. Yes they are, and whites have more money to buy the drugs. It's just that suburban white areas keep their dealings under the rug and nobody knows they're doing it unless it's major distribution and the feds get involved.

I used to work with a white guy who was involved in a drug bust. He was at a bar and started to gab with another patron. My friend loved sports and so did this guy. They became friends, went to ball games together, met for dinner, and he even had him over for Thanksgiving. One day his new friend asked if my friend used coke which he of course replied he didn't, but he had another friend that did.

He set up the deal at his house. After the money and drugs were exchanged, the DEA beat down his door and arrested him and his friend. The other new friend was a narc.

This was a 9 month operation, but that's what it takes to bust white guys that deal or use drugs. Here in my black neighborhood, blacks are constantly exchanging money for drugs nearly in the open at a business parking lot that's been closed for well over five years. Everybody in the neighborhood knows about it, and so do the police.
