At least 24 people have been shot, five of them fatally, in Chicago since Friday, police said.
The weekend violence began just one day after 13 people were injured in a Chicago park.
The victims from Thursday's shooting included 10 males and three females, including 3-year-old Deonta Howard -- known as "Tay-man" -- who was shot in the jaw and listed in critical condition.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said an assault style rifle with a high capacity magazine was used in the park shooting.
McCarthy added that based on witness interviews, the attack appears to be gang-related, as several of the victims are gang members. It is still unclear whether more than one person opened fire, he said.

Rhambozo needs to hurry up and pass some more laws to protect this libtard paradise from them evil guns.
Sounds like a total breakdown.
LBJ’s disastrous “Great Society” programs are yielding their bitter fruit.
Wait a second, I thought the liberal utopia Chicago was the safest place in the world because of their gun control laws. Is that not true? Shocker!
Since Thursday that makes 32 shot and 5 killed.
The police in Chicago are no longer relevant in any meaningful sense of the word.
The Kenyan military needs to storm the mall and just kill all the terrorists. To many people have died already.
....wait I misread the headline, this is about Chicago. My bad
After reading the whole article I think we should “obsess ourselves with passing more gun control.”
You can always count on loudly self-proclaimed “liberals” and “progressives” to keep pushing obviously failed policies instead of looking at problems, devising realistic solutions, trying them, and implementing them.
Must be white nazi hispanics killing black folk again.
Obama and his pals helped to build that.
It wouldn’t even make sense for Islamic terrorists to launch an attack in Chicago involving a large-scale shooting in a public place. It wouldn’t get any headlines because everyone would just assume that it’s a normal day in Chicago.
The only reason Chicago gun laws haven’t slowed the carnage is that other places don’t have strict gun laws and their people import those guns into Chicago. /s
I thought that solution by the Chicago police chief about sending letters’ to criminals was working?
Would the last person alive in Chicago please turn out the lights?
I agree with your first thought. Chicago needs the Kenyan military to storm it and settle things for once and all.
i’m hoping we can pass some type of gun control, then, that young man who used the ak will then turn his in at the police station.
Yep. It is only a matter of time until these stores of 10+ people shot in a day in common. By that point the Police will be so backlogged all they will have time to do is take some pictures and move on.
“an assault style rifle with a high capacity magazine was used”
Sure it was. Other reports say that more than one shooter fired the 20 shots, so it could have been 5 round mags.
Dance in the blood! Pure propaganda.
Gang warfare is now completely out in the open. In time this will all feel like a civil war.
It’s a quagmire. We should withdraw.
Hey Al! Jesse!! Where are you worthless pieces of $$hit!!!
