63 people have been shot, nine fatally, since 5 p.m. Friday. 34 of the shootings and five deaths occurred between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, according to police.
During one two-and-a-half hour-hour period, 25 people were shot in five multi-injury shootings. One paramedic described Saturday evening into Sunday morning as “a war zone.”
“We know that some of these incidents were targeted and are related to gang conflicts in those areas,” said Chicago Police Chief of Patrol Fred Waller at a press conference Sunday afternoon.
CPD said the majority of the shootings took place in the six, tenth and 11th districts and that gunmen shot into large crowds.
They were just celebrating Obama’s birthday

The Great Chicago Fire was 147 years too early.
Perhaps Lebron James can address this issue?
Maybe open a gun range?
Naw, multi-millionaire is too busy running his ignorant mouth.
It’s just the Kwanzaa in August event…
Actually I need to correct that statement –
It’s the annual Kwanzaa in July event that happens every weekend!
Is this that phenomenon called, “Culling the herd?” that’s a normal outcropping of evolution?
Meanwhile in my life it’s nice not to live with the sounds of gunfire. Just for a second we need to realize that children raised in such an environment have to be negatively affected by it.
It violates our sense of country and doesn’t sound like what America should be. It’s why we need to hold people like Debasio, Emmanuel, the Clinton’s, and Citizen Zero Barky accountable.
I can’t help but notice that no one with a name like Jim Smith or Karen Anderson is on the list of victims.
Some scumbag regressive on a twitter thread about the Chicago shootings over the weekend and David Hogg protesting outside NRA HQ, says the only reason Chicago gun laws don’t work is because of lax gun laws in neighboring states.
Of course he was using his bumper sticker talking point in the wrong place where he was quickly asked “If gun laws in neighboring states are so lax, then how come they have lower gun/crime rates than Chicago and its tough gun laws?”
As you would expect, no retort. Only crickets.
Keep electing them Demonrats!
The founders of the KKK are doing SO MUCH for the denizens of Urbania!
Some people never learn.
Q – “Why do you keep banging your head against that brick wall?”
A – “Cuz it feels good when I stop!”
izlamo delenda est …
I’d bet that Gary, IN, could equal or exceed southside Chicago, head for head.
Wouldn’t it be sweet if McCarthy beat Rham E. (rhetorical no question mark)
Someone must be giving shooting lessons. Their target acquisition skills are on the uptick.
America would greatly benefit from a wall around Chicongo and a Little Big Horn II event. Put the last standing person in a museum.
It’s comforting to be reminded that ghetto animals still can’t shoot.
Savages gonna savage
