Incomplete list.

3800 block of North Cicero Avenue: A 14 years old boy running away from cops was killed.  Cops claim he pointed a “Dirty Harry-looking gun” at them, so they shot and killed him.  NAZI-land cops originally reported their victim was an adult male, but admitted days later that it was a boy.

500 block of North Pine Avenue: 41 years old man shot in the chest, hand and ankle, but in stable condition.

74th Street and Princeton Avenue: Police say they were responding to a 911 call about a man with a gun.  A man ran when police arrived, so the cops assumed he was the guy and gave chase.  Police claim they heard gunshots, and as they rounded the corner saw a gun in the man’s hands, so they shot him in the chest.  Their victim told medics that he was also shot in the leg.   He’s in serious condition.

1500 block of West Birchwood Avenue: Undercover cops chased a man for drinking alcohol in public.  They claim he threatened to shoot them, so they shot him.  Turns out he did not have a gun.  He’s in critical condition.  Of note, the man was a parolee with an electronic monitoring bracelet around his ankle.

10600 block of South Sangamon Street: 25 years old man grazed in the head.

Belmont and Sheffield avenues: 21 years old man shot in the arm.  Police don’t care because he’s a gangbanger.

South Side: There were passing mentions in Chicago news media that five boys (under 18) had been shot on 30 June.  No details given.

Notice that most of the shooting victims are males.

Once again, most 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!

I’d like to point out that in every case where a cop shot somebody, the cops claim to be “fearing for their lives”, even though they were the ones chasing their victims down.  Sounds like the cops are a bunch of paranoid psychos to me!
