If this had been a ‘mass shooting’, media would have been all over it, with calls for gun control, and not letting it happen again. Well, it is a mass shooting. Every weekend. Yet, this will likely be the only note you see of it.
Via Chicago Tribune:
Thirteen people were shot to death in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend as the city logged its 500th homicide of the year.
Thirty-one of the 65 people shot over the long weekend were wounded between 6 a.m. Monday and 3 a.m. Tuesday. Nine of the fatal shootings occurred over that period.
Among those shot was Crystal Myer, who was nine months pregnant and was wounded in the abdomen on the same block where someone had been killed less than 20 hours earlier. No information on the baby was available. A man she was standing near was left in critical condition in the same shooting around 3:30 p.m. in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.
