At least 17 people were shot, three fatally, from Friday afternoon into Saturday night in gun-controlled Chicago.
NBC 5 reports the first fatal shooting occurred about 3 p.m. Friday, when a male was shot multiple times and killed in the 5200 block of South Homan. Both NBC 5 and the Chicago Sun-Times reported no one was in custody for the shooting.
The second fatal shooting in the 36-hour time frame took place around 11:45 p.m Friday and the third around 2:40 a.m. Saturday. The third fatality was the outgrowth of a “verbal altercation,” which resulted in a gun being drawn and a 30-year-old man being shot in the chest.
As for the non-fatal shootings, least three of the Chicago shooting victims were women. In one instance “in the 1800 block of North Sawyer, a 36-year-old woman was driving in her vehicle when a gray sedan pulled up next to her and an unknown male offender inside fired shots.”
She was wounded but able to drive herself to the hospital for treatment.

Chief Brown who retired from Dallas PD is taking the new Chief position in Chicago.
He knows about gun violence personally as his own son killed a police officer and was later killed. Can he make a difference?
Only time will tell but the man is a strong leader
and the officers will either love him or hate him.
He doesn’t always make popular decisions but he does try to do what is right to keep citizens safe. Since he left, Dallas is again struggling with climbing Homicide rates.
This is okay as long as they were wearing masks and staying at least 6 feet apart.
Guess they aren't staying in as they are supposed to, huh?
Mayor's changed - yet same horrible results.
Same with Baltimore too!
Sounds like a good start.
I guess more background check are needed huh?? Because the 20 I have to do now to buy one gun wouldn't have stopped this, and had there been 21 background checks this would never of happened...
Go over to the reservation part of Salisbury it’s a lawless armpit ... parties in the street illegal dirt bikes on the road it’s chaos
Gun control is being able to hit your target
Dang...17 shootings, and only 3 dead? Jeez, those cats SUCK! My blind Aunt could do better than that!
Liberal democratic run shithole with uneducated savages as citizens. Been like that for 60 years. Is anyone surprised let them kill each other.
Good! Pass some of it down here to DABURY
17/3 what are they using BB guns?
Northwest Woodsman: anyone want to place a bet on who the demographic was that is responsible. Yup, Scandinavians again. Although, I review violent crime articles from local news in cities around the country and find that I never hear of any Scandinavian involvement. As a matter of fact, it appears that they avoid any mention of the demographics of responsible groups. I wonder why? Although articles that include photos of the perpetrators are very revealing and indicate that the majority of violent crime is committed by a single group. Interesting that we allow dangerous predators to roam freely among us.
