Incomplete list.

3600 block of West Chicago Avenue: 42 years old man shot in the head while riding his bicycle, he died just outside his home.  Witnesses say the shooter, who was walking, shot the victim as they passed each other.

4300 block of North Drake Avenue: Three people wounded by a man who walked up to them and started shooting.

2500 block of West Huron Street: 33 years old man shot in the chest while out walking.  He’s in critical condition.

132nd Street and Langley Avenue: 34 years old man grazed in the neck by a bullet.

19th Street and Pulaski Road: 34 years old man shot multiple times while standing in a parking lot.  The shooter drove up and blasted away.

1800 block of South Throop Street: 19 years old man standing outside an apartment building was shot by somebody in an SUV or truck.

64th Street and Dr. Martin L. King Jr. Drive: 25 years old man shot in the back and butt, in critical condition.  Police say he will not cooperate with them.  So the police are trying to interrogate a victim that’s in critical condition?

78th Street and Bennett Avenue: 24 years old man shot in the butt.

5600 block of South Wolcott Avenue: 27 years old man shot by a drive by shooter.

6200 block of South Vernon Avenue: A man and woman shot and wounded.  Police suspect it was a drive by shooting.

4500 block of North Simonds Drive: Two women shot and wounded.  This incident is a prime example why news media cannot rely on police for info.  At first police reported that only one woman was shot in the leg.  Later the police changed the report to show two women shot, one in the shoulder the other in the arm and back.  Do you ever wonder why official police press reports change so much?

300 block of North Laramie Avenue: Two men, who were passengers in a van, were shot and wounded when the van stopped at an intersection.

Notice that most of the shooting victims are males.

Once again, the shooting victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but there are no gun battles. It’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.

Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers, but have made few arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
