Chicago saw its deadliest Memorial Day weekend for gun violence since 2015, a jarring reminder that even a coronavirus pandemic and a statewide stay-at-home order cannot halt shootings in the city.

"The violence throughout the city on Memorial Day weekend was nothing short of alarming," Chicago police Superintendent David Brown told the media Tuesday after the first major test of his tenure as the city's top officer ended with 49 people being shot, 10 of them fatally.

The weekend highlighted that even as the pandemic has many people staying home, homicides in the nation's three largest cities have been on the rise.

Chicago had a deadly weekend in which 10 were killed.

This could have been avoided in everyone was wearing their face masks...
