By Sunday evening of Memorial Day weekend, Chicago police had responded to the shootings of 34 people, five of whom died of their injuries, officials said.
The grim tally grew as a shooting Sunday about 6 a.m. in the 1300 block of West Hastings Street left two dead and three injured. The shooting was possibly in retaliation for an earlier one in the same University Village neighborhood where large crowds had gathered, and which also left a man dead, investigators said.
Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, said detectives believe there is a connection between the two shootings — on the same block, hours apart — that in total killed three people and injured five more.
“We do believe that the two shootings from 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. are connected,” Guglielmi wrote in an email to the Tribune.

I wonder if these are black shootings involving blacks killed or wounded , if so why don't tell the public ? Of course we all know it's blacks !
This shows time after time that gun control laws do not work in stopping gun violence.
But gun control laws ultimately are not about gun control but about control. Democrats want this Mayhem to increase so they can scream for more gun control laws. more gun control laws to ultimately control you.
Wait until the fourth of July
yes they are connected. connected to the twisted logic and failed democratic policies
More gun control laws that's what we need.
Has to all be blacks killing blacks. Or it would be all over the news of whites did it. Cannot let the public know the truth.
