Chicago's violent Labor Day weekend leaves at least 6 dead; more than 1,000 shot since Memorial Day

Violence erupted over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago with shootings killing at least six people and wounding 23 others.

In all, more than 1,000 people have been shot since Memorial Day, the Chicago Tribune reported, and while total shootings are down slightly from the same period in 2017, many Chicagoans have said the deadly gun violence remains a major problem that the city desperately needs to fix.

Among the latest victims: a 25-year-old doctoral student at Northwestern University. Shane Colombo of Sun City, California, was shot and killed Sunday night while waiting at a bus stop after he was caught in the crossfire of two other people, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

There is no excuse for this, a 1000 shot, and they lived. We need to encourage them to shoot center mass and with bigger caliber guns.
If the death count got higher than maybe the news would take notice, but no, that won't work, unless the Russians were doing the shooting, or a porn star.
