Incomplete list:
1600 block of North Marshfield Avenue: An off duty cop was walking home when he claims he came across a man allegedly breaking into a house still under construction. The cop says he drew his gun and ordered the suspected burglar to drop his screwdriver. Supposedly, the man and the off duty cop fought over the cop’s gun, which went off and hit the cop in the arm. The cop then recovered his gun and shot and killed the unarmed burglar. The Cook County Medical Examiner said the ‘burglar’ was shot multiple times and declared it homicide by cop! The ‘burglar’ was a well known homeless man, local news reports said he had no criminal record in Chicago!
200 block of South Western Avenue: Somebody in a dark sedan shot a man and two teenagers. The man was killed.
2400 block of West Jackson Boulevard: Police report a man was found stabbed in the neck, yet after he was placed in an ambulance he somehow ran away.
4900 block of West Kamerling Avenue: 23 years old man shot in the arm by drive by shooter.
700 block of South Karlov Avenue: 32 years old man shot in both feet by drive by shooter in dark sedan.
700 block of North Clark Street: 27 years old man shot in the arm. Reports say he was shot during a fight.
6600 block of South Hermitage Avenue: 21 years old man sitting on his porch gut shot by drive by shooter.
7400 block of South Colfax Avenue: 18 years old man shot in the leg.
200 block of East 58th Street: 37 years old woman shot, police and fire department officials gave conflicting statements. Police said she was shot in the back and is critical, while fire department officials said she was shot in the neck and is in serious condition.
4000 block of West Iowa Street: 19 years old man shot in the arm. He took himself to the hospital, but refuses to “cooperate” with police.
3800 block of West Huron Street: 19 years old man shot and wounded. However, police and local news media don’t give a rat’s ass because the victims is “a documented gang member”.
5800 block of South Wolcott Avenue: 23 years old man in critical condition after being shot. He was sitting in his car when two people outside the car started fighting and shooting.
The majority of victims are male. No arrests reported. Notice how many victims refuse to cooperate with police.
Once again, shooting victims were not armed, 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!
