At least 52 people were shot, eight of them fatally, across Chicago over the weekend, the most violent of the year as summer gets underway, with a toll even higher than during the long Memorial Day holiday just a week earlier.

More than half the victims were wounded during a 12-hour burst of gunfire from Friday evening to Saturday morning. At least four of the 31 people shot during that time died after attacks on the West and South sides. At least one other person over the weekend was fatally stabbed, bringing the homicide toll to nine.

The level of violence, which typically spikes during the summer months, eclipsed that of the three-day Memorial Day weekend when at least 43 people were shot, seven of them fatally. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson held a news conference Monday morning, calling the level of violence “despicable.”

Over the weekend in Chicago, 52 people were shot and 10 were killed.

I hear crickets.  :mad:

New mayor, same sh*thole.

Glad that city is in my personal rear view mirror at this point.

Likewise, though I never lived in Shitcago - rather the NW 'burbs.

Apparently, the only person in Chicago who has NOT been assaulted, is Jussie Smollett.
