Chicago: 37 Shot, 3 Fatally, in Surge of Holiday Weekend Violence

A surge of overnight violence struck Chicago on the Fourth of July with at least 22 people shot overnight, bringing the total number of people shot since the long holiday weekend began to 37.

The holiday’s latest homicide involved a young man who was killed late Friday night after being shot by police officers in the Portage Park neighborhood.

Police said officers approached the man just before 10 p.m. in the 3800 block of North Cicero Avenue when they saw “an object protruding from his waistband” and tried to stop him. The man fled the scene and pointed a “large revolver” at pursuing officers, according to a statement from Chicago police.

  1. Chicago isn't that where Obammy said home was? Isn't that where Obammy's Chief of Staff is now Mare?

    Not where I would want to call home.

  2. Just further proof that gun control laws do not work, they make things worse. Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. How is that working for you Rahm?
