At least three people were killed and 10 injured in a spate of unrelated shootings across the city overnight.

Among the wounded were three juveniles and seven adults struck by birdshot when two men opened fire during a crowded cookout in Mantua about 9:50 p.m. Saturday. All 10 victims were reported to be in stable condition Sunday.

Witnesses told investigators the men fired a shotgun into the 4100 block of Ogden Street at least once, then drove down the street in a gold or silver four-door sedan and fired several more shots, possibly from a handgun.

Birdshot sends a painful message, but seldom kills a human.

If journalists wouldn’t report shootings there would be no copy cat shootings. Therefore, all shootings are the media’s fault.

Not sure the shooters know the difference. It said “12 gauge” it was the cheapest.

More then likely thought the larger the number the bigger the shot.

neck beard?

Funny though they mentioned that he was a black male. Usually the “black” is left out.

From article....”A 12-year-old boy was shot once in his chest, ...a 1-year-old girl was grazed in the left side of her neck, and ...an 11-year-old boy suffered graze wounds to his left knee and right shoulder, police said.... All three were taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.”....

It’s Philadelphia....a typical day just as in Chicago......at least it’s mostly “contained” for now.
