Three peope were shot dead on Friday, another victim was shot dead on Saturday and two more were killed on Monday, according to police.

Another 19 people were shot and injured over Easter weekend, while four others were injured in shootings on Monday, the Chicago Sun Times reports.

Wow, didn't that reporter blast the Surgeon General for his comments to the black community, meanwhile in Chicago... mayor Lightfoot closes the "Lica Stows" in Chicago. Where is that reporter now? why ain't she calling out the Mayor for her racist order to close them? two sets of rules, right?
