Chicago experienced one of its least violent Christmas weekends this year, with five people dead from the gun violence plaguing the city.
The last fatal shooting for the Christmas weekend happened on Monday at 12:14 am, reports CBS Local Chicago. Fifty-seven year-old Albert Mau was pronounced dead at the St. Bernard Hospital after he was shot when two men walked towards him and shot at him.
Other victims include a man who was shot while he tried to rob someone Saturday, while a 21-year-old man was fatally shot while sitting on his back porch with a friend.
A total of about 20 people were wounded by guns over the weekend, marking a steep decline from last year’s tally. Christmas weekend in 2016 saw 61 people, and 11 people die from their wounds.

As long as cops aren't using tazers on criminals that's all that maters. Probably need more strict gun laws on law bidding citizens in Chicago! :)
