CHICAGO (WLS) -- Fifty five people were shot, eleven fatally over the Labor Day Weekend in Chicago.

The shootings include an attack on four young men in the South Chicago neighborhood Sunday night in the 8600-block of South Kingston Avenue.

David DeVeaux Jr, 20 and 18-year-old Jason Mundo, 18, were gunned down while sitting in front of a home. Two others were also shot.

Police said at least two shooters armed with a rifle and two handguns walked up and opened fire.

One of the fatal attacks occurred in West Garfield Park on the West Side Friday evening. About 6:30 p.m., a 24-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk in the 4400-block of West Jackson Boulevard when two cars approached and several people got out and began shooting. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Early Saturday, a man was fatally shot in Old Town on the Near North Side. The man, 31, was found on the ground with a gunshot wound in the chest a few minutes after midnight in the 1300 block of North Hudson Avenue, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died.

A few hours later, a man, 22, was killed in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds about 3 a.m. in the 6000-block of South Racine Avenue.

In other shootings, a 15-year-old boy was critically wounded Friday night while walking on a sidewalk in South Chicago. Close to midnight, the teen was in the 7900-block of South Crandon Avenue when he was approached by four men and was shot.

An hour later, a 13-year-old boy was shot and wounded early Sunday in the Lawndale neighborhood. The teen was walking on the sidewalk about 1:30 a.m. in the 700-block of South Kostner Avenue.

The RATS need to throw Lori the Lesbo out for allowing her supporters to waste all that ammunition. Americans are going to need that stuff someday to kick the commies and socialists out of OUR country.

Chicago needs to be declared a war zone. There are other countries in constant conflict which are safer than Chicago.

Between abortion, illegal drugs and blacks killing each other, the racist elites who control Chicago are thinning out their black herds.

They replace dead blacks they hate with Hispanics to work and to vote for the elites’ people like their current mayor.

Hasn’t Chicago had one-party rule for like seventy or eighty years?

Chicago still has the most murders.

Perhaps all blue cities need to be declared war zones.

I understand but normally their success rate is in the 14%-16% range.
