The following is an incomplete list of shootings.
5600 block of South Wabash: Two men shot, one killed, one in critical condition.
4600 block of West Jackson Boulevard: A man shot multiple times and killed.
400 block of North Leamington Avenue: A man shot twice in his right hand.
9000 block of South Harvard Avenue: A man shot and wounded in his leg while he was out walking.
5100 block of South Wood Street: A man out walking was shot and wounded by drive by shooters.
5100 block of West Gladys Avenue: Two men were approached by two other men, who then shot them. The victims are both in stable condition.
500 block of North Avers Avenue: Two men, sitting in a car stopped at a stoplight, were shot and wounded by unknown suspects.
400 block of South Homan Avenue: A 28 years old man shot in the chest by drive by shooters.
10200 block of South State Street: A man shot and wounded in both legs.
Once again, the 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 no arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
