Incomplete list:
1300 block of West Devon Avenue: 28 years old man waiting for a bus shot and killed by shooter who walked up behind him and shot him in the back. Police don’t care, they call it a gang shooting even though they admit the victim might not be a gangbanger. No arrest made.
6200 block of South Rockwell Street: A woman and her adult son shot by a man who was upset. The woman was wounded, but her son died. Police calling it a domestic violence case, even though they don’t know how the shooter is related and they haven’t made any arrest.
3600 block of West 15th Street: 16 years old boy shot and wounded in the leg. The shooter simply walked up to the boy and started shooting.
4500 block of West 58th Street: 19 years old man shot and wounded by drive by shooter.
8700 block of South Escanaba Avenue: 19 years old man shot and wounded by three people, who fled in a pickup truck.

“….Chicago presents the ripest location to distribute drugs and contraband to almost every other market on the planet.
……In 1925, it was the Chicago Outfit. Today, it is the Gangsta Disciples, Four Corner Hustlers and Vice Lords.
In 1925, the crime was bootlegging. Today, the (primary) crime is drug dealing.
In 1925, Al Capone was making $100 million a year in profit. Today, the Sinaloa Cartel is believed to have imported and distributed over $6 billion dollars’ worth of narcotics through the Chicago area over a twenty year period.”-Kay S
Once again, shooting victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but until now there were no reports of gun battles. It’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.
Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers, but have made few arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
