Fourth of July weekend toll: 82 shot, 14 of them fatally, in Chicago





By Peter Nickeas Tribune reporter

10:39 a.m. CDT, July 7, 2014

For 10 minutes, it seemed like the shooting was everywhere in the South Chicago neighborhood.

It started when someone shot and wounded a couple, then two people fired at the shooter, then there was a chase and shots exchanged and a man sitting on a porch was hit. Responding officers kept cutting each other off on their radios as they reported other gunfire in the area late Sunday night and early Monday morning.

Then the heavy equipment rolled in: A helicopter and SUVs packed with lockers of rifles. SWAT teams in green coveralls patrolled the streets with uniformed officers.

It was just one of dozens of shooting scenes across Chicago over the long Fourth of July weekend. In all, at least 82 people were shot, 14 of them fatally, since Thursday afternoon when two woman were shot as they sat outside a two-flat within a block of Garfield Park.

Five of the people were shot by police over 36 hours on Friday and Saturday, including two boys 14 and 16 who were killed when they allegedly refused to drop their guns.

chief of police blames the gun laws. yet none of them niggas walked into a gun store and bought a gun thats for damn sure. how about blame the atf? isnt this there expertise? where are they?
how about blame their parents for continuing the cycle. or blame the school system for failing them. or the government for not stepping in.
everytime someone gets killed by a gun these left wing nuts wanna use it as a scapegoat to ban guns. Arson @Arson my g, these niggas running with machine guns, they dont care about aim, which is sad because a lot of innocent lives are lost in the gunfire
