Seriously, Rahm Emanuel has to go. I’m sick of people dying like this every summer while he does nothing. You know every weekend dozens will be shot and a number killed. Solve the gang problem and you’d solve a lot of this.
CHICAGO (WLS) — Dozens of people were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday, police said.
One paramedic described the evening as “a war zone.”
Since midnight, police said 43 people have been shot, six fatally. Since Friday at 5 p.m., 60 people have been shot, nine fatally, in shootings in Chicago.
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.
“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.
