[CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] Another hot weekend ended with dozens of people rushed to the emergency room with gunshot wounds. Shootings left nine people dead and 39 maimed over the weekend. Good thing they have such strict gun control The most recent shooting happened just before midnight Sunday night in the Altgeld Gardens neighborhood. Two men and a woman were maimed when a man walked up to them and started shooting near 130th and Evans, according to police. A 47-year-old man was at death's door at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, after he was shot in the chest. A 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were stabilized at Roseland Community Hospital, after both of them were shot in the arm. |

#4 Saw an article yesterday (sorry,link has gone down the memory hole - mine, not the internet's) that listed the most dangerous cities based on likelihood of being a victim of crime. Chicago was #57 with a 91/100000 chance.. and beautiful downtown Minneapolis was #56 with the same score. I'm guessing the severity/fatality of victimhood was not a factor in the rating. |
