This friday Chicago's streets took another violent turn. Shootings across Chicago since friday have killed 3 people, and wounded at least 26 others. The most recent fatality was late Saturday night, however, that is one shooting that they are investigating as a suicide. Working backwards, four men were shot while driving through the neighborhood, a 20 year old man was found shot in the face and was declared dead, a 23 year old man was shot in the back, another 23 year old was shot in the leg, and a 24 year old was shot in the butt. The homicide that started the weekend of chaos was on friday night, a 20 year old man was shot in multiple places and declared dead. At least 20 other people were also shot this weekend.
The amount of uncontrolled violence in Chicago right now is slightly terrifying. If I was living there I wouldn't feel safe, it's like the police aren't doing anything.

It is so shocking to hear of things like these. This just reminds me how important it is to never be too safe. I hope there is a way to make people more safe in the city.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrifying, I would be afraid to live there. But then again this could happen anywhere at any moment.

Why can't people just get along? This just shows the amount of hatred going on in the world. But on the cool though, my favorite rapper, Chance The Rapper, is from Chicago.
