Another bloody weekend in Chicago: 9 dead, 45 wounded in gun violence
2018-06-19
[USA Today] CHICAGO — At least nine people were killed and 45 others were wounded over the weekend in shootings, an ugly turn for the nation's third-largest city as it made progress stemming the murder rate in the first half of 2018.

In addition to the weekend’s fatal shootings, the city recorded a tenth homicide early Monday. A man, who police said was in his 30s, was killed by blunt force trauma on the city’s Southwest Side. Police said they found a weapon but declined to give details about it or the circumstances of the killing.

Investigators said many of the weekend's incidents were gang-related. The city historically sees a frustrating uptick in gun violence as the temperature warms. Chicago reached a high of 95 on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

#5  And the completely "grassroots" Parkland kids were here this weekend too, but they preferred to gather in a gunfree zone in Naperville as opposed to the gunfree zones in Englewood...possibly due to insurance considerations.
