And all this had nothing to do with any ‘protests’, just Chicago Way™
16 dead, at least 30 injured in second straight weekend of violence in Chicago
Officials in Chicago said Monday that the city registered 16 deaths and at least 30 injured in shootings across the region over the weekend.
NBC Chicago reported that one of the incidents involved a drive-by shooting that killed two men who were also in a vehicle. They were shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.
The Chicago Tribune reported last week that there were 191 deaths so far this year as the result of violence. The paper reported that the majority of the deaths were a result of gunfire. The city, under Mayor Lori Lightfoot, saw its deadliest Memorial Day weekend in years, which included 10 deaths and 39 wounded.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the city had the bloody weekends despite a stay-at-home order due to the coronavirus.
