CHICAGO --More than two dozen people were shot in Chicago during the warmest weekend so far this year.

Four children under the age of 16 are among those injured.

According to police records, at least 33 people have been shot since Friday afternoon.

Among those 33 shot, at least four have died this weekend.

The latest shooting happened shortly after midnight Monday at 72nd and Stony Island. A man was walking to his vehicle when someone opened fired. He was shot in the chest and transported to University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.

Two children and four adults were shot during a baby shower at 63rd and Seeley in West Englewood on Saturday.

Witnesses say the shooters fired into a crowd, sending three people to hospital in critical condition; including an 8-year old boy shot in the chest and back, a 10-year old girl shot in the shin, and a 29-year old woman shot in the chest.

Police believe this shooting is gang-related, in retaliation for another in Englewood.

Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot tweeted that she's heartbroken, and “we must stop the epidemic of violence in our city.”

This is anti-Trump territory, and these are anti-Trump people.

Just saying.

If only the people of Chicago would elect a black lesbian, then all this would stop.

Whenever you get urban shootings, the liberal media always connect it to the temperature:

Why do we never hear of Global Warming’s future effects on SHOOTINGS..?

Of course the question is ridiculous, but at the same time somehow logical.

According to their new mayor, the head lesbian in charge, Chicago is going to change. She is going to pump more money into the southside of Chi-town and give them more free money to buy more guns for the gangs.

Stolen guns. But you will never hear that in any media report. Or read about stolen guns in any gun violence study.

They are democrats Lori, what did you expect? The best is yet to come during the warmer months. Funeral homes will make a “killing” this summer.

Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Ashburn - these Chicago neighborhoods account for most Chicago murders.

I find Google Earth is a great way to visit these neighborhoods, without actually having to go there. I found this shot of local folks within 30 seconds of taking a random tour of the Englewood Neighborhood

They should have included guns on the Buybuybaby registry.
