Things Heating Up In Chicago -52 Shot, 10 Killed Over The Weekend

CBS News

CBS Chicago reports it was the most violent weekend of 2019. The bloodshed comes on the heels of another deadly weekend during the Memorial Day holiday last week, when five people were killed in a spate of shootings. Violence tends to increase during warm summer months, according to police.

[Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie] Johnson said many of the victims shot over the weekend were targeted by gangs. He said police noted an uptick in gang-related shootings on Friday, and in response, increased patrols in areas where investigators expected possible retaliation. Deputy chief Al Nagode, who oversees the city’s west side where some of the gang violence originated, said shootings there were “not random” and motivated by disputes and tensions over an open-air drug market.

  1. Tony,

    There seems to be a rather large lack of information about Craddock. Usually there is all kinds of information available, including all kinds of interviews with associated people, but not this time.

    I think there may be something more than just not meeting the agenda involved.

  3. “Open Air drug market”!?!? I wonder if the cops are scared off, bribed off or have been cut off at the knees so often by the Mayor, City Council and their own Command that they just don’t give a crap anymore. Such a shame.
