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

In short, you really can't refute my advocacy of more human policies proven to have worked in other industrial democracies, any more than you can refute the historical record that your cult was started by pedophiles and con artists.

Your policies are self-refuting. It is obvious to any sane, intelligent person, that you want criminals to thrive, to the harm of human beings, and that you advocate policies that have that as their intent and proven effect. Your absurd and hateful lies about my religion are completely irrelevant to the topic.

Seems like criminals are thriving with your policies of guns and prisons...

The guns just make it easier for them to commit crimes, and the prisons teach them to be better criminals while denying them other opportunities.
 
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.

Would this qualify as a MASS SHOOTING?
 

Fake News?
Misleading?
Hidden Agenda?

You RWI's ALWAYS focus on Chicage, #28........terrible.....YES.

Is this ^^^^^^ data WRONG?

Do Cities with (R) leadership have less violence or more violence?
Disingenuous nonsense. There is a murder every 14 hours in Chicago. No other city or state is more dangerous than that. This lunacy of ranking per 100,000 is completely is completely stupid.

/——/ Well, it’s time to take guns away from people who had nothing to do with these murders. Makes sense, right?
