Five people were killed and at least 15 others have been wounded in separate shootings across the city since Friday evening, including eight shot within the first 30 minutes of June.
The most recent fatal shooting happened early Sunday in the Austin neighborhood, when a teenage boy was killed and five others were wounded.

Chicago has probably the 2nd toughest gun control laws in the nation, right behind D.C. These laws are a 2nd amendment ifringement directed at law abiding citizens and caused completely by the city’s black murder and violent crime rates.
Gun control laws are working - Chicago and D.C. have the lowest crime rates in the country. /s
