Nearly 30 Shot, Four Fatally, over Weekend in Gun-Controlled Chicago
2018-07-10
[Breitbart] Four people were killed and another 24 wounded by gunfire in gun-controlled Chicago over the weekend.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that three of the four fatalities occurred on Sunday.

The first fatality of the day occurred at 12:30 a.m. when someone pulled out a gun following an argument and opened fire. Twenty-two-year-old Daniel Carter was shot and killed.

Another fatality occurred earlier Sunday, around 3:30 a.m. In that incident a 32-year-old male was in a car with another 33-year-old when a car pulled up beside them and someone began shooting. The 32-year-old was struck in the head and neck and later died. The 33-year-old was stuck too, but is hospitalized "in good condition."

The last fatality of the day happened around 12:15 p.m. in an Austin neighborhood Sunday afternoon, when someone opened fire on two individuals on the sidewalk. One of the individuals, a 23-year-old male, was shot multiple times in the chest and killed. The second individual, a 19-year-old male, was shot but is hospitalized in stable condition.

On May 29, 2018, Breitbart News reported that 36 were shot in gun-controlled Chicago over the Memorial Day Weekend. Seven of the shooting victims died.

#8  Didn't they just have a highway-blocking protest to stop this?

That protest was not aimed at gang-bangers. It was aimed at law abiding citizens. You, whose firearms have never been used for a crime of any sort, are the enemy...

#7  Thank GOD the strict gun laws in Chicago are working! Just think what the numbers would be if it were the Wild West of Texas where people can and do carry guns.

#6  They have very strict gun laws, but they don’t enforce them, at least on the criminal class. Thus, they have no gun control for criminals.

The Chicago machine has an arrangement with the gangs to tolerate a level of criminality. In return, the gangs turn out the vote.

#5  Huh, more people killed in a Chicago weekend than a decade of school shootings.

#4  Perhaps Chicago's strict gun control prevents their criminals from getting much range time, and thus keeps the fatality rate per shooting down.

#3  Anyone got a number of the federal prosecutions of felons with guns pre-Trump/post-Trump for the area?

#1  They need a law making it illegal to shoot someone with an illegal gun. And while they're at it, they should make a law that criminals have to obey the law. That's really the crux of the problem, isn't it?
