40 shot in 7 hours guess where?
Yes you guessed it in Chitcago.
At least 40 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend during the seven hours from midnight Saturday to early Sunday morning, with four fatalities, city police said on Sunday, a stark violent streak in a city where authorities say gun violence has been decreasing this year.
"These were both random and targeted shootings on our streets," said Fred Waller, Chief of the Patrol Division of the Chicago Police Department, in a press conference.
He said most of the shootings are connected to gang violence in the city of about 2.7 million people, the third-largest in the United States.
Police said gunmen targeted a block party, a gathering after a funeral, and other gatherings on a night where thousands of people gathered for a downtown concert.
Local media reported that the brunt of the violence happened in the city's West Side, where 25 people were shot in separate attacks.
Waller touted that shootings in 2018 were down from last year.
The Chicago Tribune, which has been tracking shooting statistics, reported earlier this month that shootings in the city have declined, with 533 fewer shootings as of Aug. 1 than the same time in 2017.
"By no means do these statistics show that we have a victory," Waller said.
He said that police are working with other law enforcement groups to target gang activity.
"I promise we will not be defeated," Waller said.
More specifics on the shootings were not immediately available late on Sunday.

We need to build a wall around Chitcago, and then fill it with water. Anyone trying to climb over the wall gets shot dead.
BUILD THE WALL!

..It's us poor schmucks in the collar counties around Cook County
that have to bear the brunt of the gun hysteria that results from
this kind of news.....All of us in IL for that matter. They can
never report the truth of the matter, that this all took place in
just 5 police districts. Guess what "minority" populates those
districts....? No one dares state the truth of the matter. It might
offend someone.0 -

Demoncrap ruined cities and towns are deadly. Proven fact
Want to spin that barf?
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/05/us/chicago-weekend-shootings/index.html
Please keep up the most excellent dnc s***show till the midterms.
Even cnn had to report the dnc created mass murdering morons.
Must have killed pissy chrissy and Co. to show just how horrible the murder rate is under demoncrap failure
I've seen and heard blacks asking my question:
"How come dnc cities are a "sanctuary" for illegal criminals and terrorist sympathizers BUT those cities are cemeteries for black citizens?"0 -
One radio station was making fun of the shootings this morning. They said if you did not get shot in chicago this weekend please call in we want to hear from you. Jokingly of course.
What was it a couple weeks ago chitcago was bragging about getting 5000+ illegal guns off the streets this year?
HELLO how about getting criminals off the streets and keeping them off.0 -
I just watched a couple of the purge movies
what I took away from the ones I watched was racism all about the blacks being targeted and the victims by big brother
however I did like the theme 24 hours do what you want and the community defending them self or just keeping clear and safe while the thugs clean house [:D][:D][:D][}:)][}:)][}:)]
