Six people were killed and 32 others were wounded by gun violence so far over the weekend in Chicago.

The latest fatal attack left a man dead Saturday in Austin on the West Side.

The man, 32, was with a male suspect about 7:04 p.m. in the first block of South Leamington Avenue when the male shot him in the chest, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital.

Earlier that afternoon, a 29-year-old man was fatally shot in Chatham on the South Side.

About 3:05 p.m., he was standing on the corner in the 8300 block of South Ingleside Avenue when a silver vehicle pulled up and someone inside fired shots at him, striking him in the chest, police said.

Saturday morning, a man was shot to death in West Garfield Park.

The 28-year-old was sitting in a parked vehicle at 4:27 a.m. in the 4400 block of West Adams Street when someone approached and fired shots, according to police. He was hit in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene.

A 30-year-old man was fatally shot several hours earlier in Roseland on the Far South Side.

Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert found the man lying on the street about 2:03 a.m.

The earliest fatal shooting happened Friday in Roseland on the South Side.

An 18-year-old man and 20-year-old woman were standing outside with a group about 9:15 p.m. in the 300 block of West 108th Place when someone inside a passing vehicle opened fire, police said.

The man, Deandre Darling, was struck multiple times in the chest, authorities said. He was taken to Roseland Community Hospital and died while being transferred to Stroger Hospital. His death was ruled a homicide.

Outpacing Covid victims, yet the media remains silent, they need to have minute by minute reports and the police need shooter contact tracers.

Data suggests only half of the shooters wore masks.

This shows a callous disregard for public health and safety.

from the description of the shootings, the shooters did maintain proper social distancing rules, so they’re OK, and most likely won’t be arrested for such minor infraction of the rules. But, they better not go to work.

How could this be? The Honorable Mayor Beetlejuice said everybody was on mandatory lock-down.

Good to see Chicago is opening back up regardless of what the mayor and governor says (sarc).

Chicago needs a new public service announcement:

“Shootings from less than six feet violate social distancing guidelines.

Murder from a safe distance!”

If Chicago banned all cars there wouldn’t be any more drive by killings.

I think they have a lead poisoning problem worse than Covid that they should be focusing on.

They’ll add it to the COVID deaths because they were under pressure.
