2014-07-14
[Iran Press TV] Deadly shootings have claimed the lives of three people and injured at least 22 others since Friday in the most dangerous American city, reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,....
A 28-year-old man, identified as William Lewis, was the victim of the most recent fatal shooting which happened Saturday afternoon in the 1300 block of West Devon Avenue.

Police say he was shot in the back and taken to Presence Saint Francis Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
 Police said he may have been killed due to gang-related issues.

Another shooting took place in a Lawn neighborhood apartment on the Southwest Side. The domestic-related incident seriously injured a 50-year-old woman and claimed the life of her son early Saturday.

A 47-year-old man opened fire on a woman and her son in their apartment in the 6200 block of South Rockwell Street after an argument. The 27-year-old son was dead at the scene of the shooting and his mother was sent to Mount Sinai Hospital. Police say the woman is at death's door.

Chicago is one of the most dangerous cities in the US with very high gun deaths. According to FBI crime statistics released in late 2013, the city registered more homicides in 2012 than New York City.s

#3  What you are watching is the move from area defense to point defense as the LE simply tries to protect the remaining property and tax base in the 1 percenter enclaves, after driving out the productive middle class with policies and programs that attracted the non-productive ballot box stuffers.

#1  CRIME IS DOWN! Just listen to Rahm and his Police Superintendent!
CPD is 4000 Officers short, most of the 'victims' have long records and previous prison stays, Gov Quinn (D-What else) has closed prisons, and for all you tourists the lake front, Michigan Ave, and the Gold Coast are now the hunting grounds of the predators.
