[QUOTE="Neanderthal, post: 3141782, member: 3746"] This comes as no surprise. When honest, law abiding citizens are not allowed to have firearms....well, you get the drill. [URL]http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-chicago-weekend-violence-20180806-story.html[/URL] [SIZE=6][B]75 people shot, 12 fatally, in Chicago over the weekend[/B][/SIZE] At least 75 people were shot, 12 fatally from Friday, Aug. 3 to Monday, Aug 6, 2018, in Chicago. (Antonio Perez and Armando Sanchez / Chicago Tribune) At least 75 people were shot in one of the most violent weekends of the year in Chicago, spurred by a 7-hour period early Sunday morning when 41 people were shot. Between 3 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Monday morning, 12 people were killed and 63 were wounded, according to Tribune data. Their ages spanned from 11 to 62 years old, and most of those shot were attacked on the South and West sides. As of Friday, at least 1,700 people have been shot in the city this year, fewer than the last two years at this time when violence hit record levels in the city but well above other recent years. There have been at least 300 homicides, according to Tribune data. Six of the shootings this weekend injured four or more people in a single attack, racking up 31 victims early Sunday. The staggering numbers attracted national media attention and resulted in a news conference Sunday morning during which Chicago police Chief of Patrol Fred Waller blamed the violence on gang members who shoot into summer crowds at night. “They take advantage of that opportunity and they shoot into a crowd, no matter who they hit,” Waller said. Over the weekend, shooters targeted large groups at a block party, a funeral and other outdoor gatherings. The largest attack wounded eight people in the South Side’s Gresham neighborhood around 12:40 a.m. Monday, including a 14-year-old girl and two 17-year-old girls. Two 17-year-olds shot in separate incidents were the weekend’s youngest homicide victims. [/QUOTE]
