More than 20 shot over 12 hours in Chicago as gun violence remains high for second week
[Chicago Tribune] More than 20 people were shot in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...over 12 hours Tuesday through early Wednesday as gun violence remains high across the city for the second week in a row. In two of the overnight shootings — on the Far South Side and South Side — three or more people were maimed, according to police. Shootings started spiking in Chicago over the long Memorial Day weekend, when at least 50 people were shot. The next day, 28 more people were shot, including a 5-year-old girl standing with her family. Last weekend, as looting and disturbances spread across the city, more than 80 people were shot, nearly 20 of them fatally. At least 15 of the fatal shootings occurred Sunday, requiring the Cook County medical examiner’s office to call in extra pathologists to conduct autopsies. Posted by: Fred 2020-06-04 |
