At least 40 people were shot, five fatally, over the weekend in Chicago. Breitbart News reported over 25 people being shot, four fatally, Friday into Sunday morning alone. Three of those four earliest fatalities happened Saturday, with the fourth occurring around 1 a.m. Sunday morning.
The fourth fatality came as 25-year-old Lavell Mathis was walking in a vacant lot “in the 4900 block of West Madison Street.” Another man approached him, drew a gun, and opened fire, hitting Mathis multiple times. Mathis died from his gunshot wounds.
On Sunday night, CBS 2 reported that a fifth fatality occurred at 6:15 p.m. Sunday. A 24-year-old man was shot in the back “in the 7800 block of South Carpenter Street in Auburn Gresham.” He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.
At 11:51 p.m. on Sunday night, CBS 2 noted 38 people had been shot over the weekend, five fatally. On Monday morning, the Chicago Sun-Times reported the weekend total was at 43 shooting victims.
The Chicago Tribune reports that 3,560 people were shot in Chicago from January 1, 2020 to November 4, 2020. The Tribune’s numbers include fatal and non-fatal shooting victims combined.
As for fatalities alone, the Tribune reports 658 homicides in Lightfoot’s Chicago from January 1, 2020 to November 4, 2020.
The Mayor and Governors should be held responsible for the deaths and injury of every person. The cost vn of the destruction of all businesses and homes.
This is terrors attacking our country and government allowing it.
I guess life s don t matter. Their killing and shoting each.other.. A bunch animals Good luck
So, Mz Lightfoot, how’s your gun control laws working for you? Legal gun owners don’t go out and shoot up the city. Petty thugs/gangs use illegally obtained weapons and don’t care about your gun control laws. So how is it working for you?
Lightfoot needs to be “REMOVED” immediately if not sooner. The city is under siege and she does nothing to protect her citizens. This us a horrible example for an American city😡 Remove her, and take back your Chicago🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What happens in Chicago stays in Chicago and is rarely mentioned because it is run by Democrats
how many shot was black and was the shooting black
I thought BLM I guess not
I take it that none of the shooters were police!
It is real SAD that the Democrat run cities in America don’t care and are no longer working for their citizens.
To have that many shootings and killings is a disgrace. Lightfoot needs to bring a strong police force against the gangs and STOP the carnage. Chicago will be a town no one wants to visit any longer because of the high crime. Get REAL Lightfoot and protect your citizens. There is no reason why young children have to continue to be caught in the crossfire.
Say it ain’t so Joe I think with all of her success in Chicago like Obama’s she has definitely now qualified for the next democratic nominee for president.
Is the mayor of Chicago proud of the killings that happen every day or what
By the way I am not a robot is she
Democrat city…democrat mayor ..democrat failed policies…left wing democrat news ignores this…where were the social workers….
well idiots get what they vote for. Keep Voting for Corrupt Politicians and you will get Corruption and Mayhem.
If the BLM movement is legit.., why aren’t they protesting about this violence in Chicago.., guess defunding the police is backfiring on the middle class black and white citizens of Chicago , maybe protesting with BLM is just a joke…, maybe America needs an ALM …, all lives matter organization to combat the real enemy in America …, gangs and drugs!
All lives matter and that’s it and not one people and those crazy Democrats do not care about anything but their own pay and love rioting and love crime and mayhem and the simple solution is to crack down on all of the crime and to have a real tough police force lock up and to really enforce every existing laws and not to give in to the radical left wing liberal terrorists.
Way to go stink foot and you want to defund the police.you are a real moron
Why would anyone who values life, want a Democrat in charge of ANY city. Which leads to the reason democrats must steal power to be in charge. No society anywhere in history has maintained their freedoms, when leftists were in power. Get ready for a winter of grief…the left has just stolen another way of life.
Response deleted I wonder why
Typical weekend in Chi-town
When you elect Democrats you are guaranteed a destruction of your state,city etc
Mayor needs to resign
Evidently it was Black on Black or Black on White because if it was white on Black the lives would have mattered and BLM, who truly cares, would be trying to start some riots.
Best view i have ever seen !
