No NRA, Christian, white, conservative, Trump-supporting folks here in Chicago so nothing to see, move along…
From MyFoxChicago: Seven people were killed and 34 others have been wounded in shootings across the city since Friday evening, according to Chicago Police.
In the most recent fatal shooting, a 33-year-old man was in a vehicle about 8:20 p.m. traveling southbound in the 7600 block of South Eggleston in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood when another vehicle pulled alongside and someone inside opened fire, according to from Chicago Police. The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the torso and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office could not immediately confirm the fatality.
Previously, on Saturday morning, a man and woman were found shot to death in an apparent murder-suicide in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the South Side. Officers assisting the Chicago Fire Department with a well-being check in the 1400 block of East 54th found the 65-year-old woman and 73-year-old man dead at 9:49 a.m., police said. They both had gunshot wounds to the head, and the man’s wound was self-inflicted. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Several hours earlier, a man was found shot to death in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side. Officers received a call of shots fired in the 4800 block of West Monroe just before 5:30 a.m. and arrived to find 23-year-old Eric Smith lying face down on the ground, police and the medical examiner’s office said. Smith, who lived a block away in the 4800 block of West Adams, was shot several times and pronounced dead at the scene at 7:20 a.m.
About 3:40 a.m., a man was killed and two security guards with Kates Detective Agency were wounded in a shooting in University Village. Witnesses at the scene said the security guards pulled up to a large party outside the ABLA-Robert Brooks Homes in the 1300 block of West Hastings before shots were fired. One man, 24, was shot in the back and was dead at the scene, police said. The medical examiner’s office did not confirm the death Saturday morning. Friends took him to University of Illinois Hospital, where the car was left outside the emergency room entrance.
The security guards were taken to Stroger Hospital, where their conditions were stabilized. One, a 29-year-old man, was shot in both thighs, his hand and his forearm. The second, a 30-year-old man, was shot in the hand.
At least one of the security guards drove himself to the Chicago Police 12th District precinct at 1412 S. Blue Island after the shooting. Police tape was wrapped around the Kates Detective Agency SUV where it had stopped in front of the precinct.
At least 33 other people have been shot in Chicago since 5 p.m. Friday. Read about all the regular-occurring shootings here.
