At least 21 people were wounded in separate shootings around the city, including a man who died this morning after he was shot in the head, Chicago police said.

One of the shootings happened about 3 p.m. in the 6200 block of South Cottage Grove in the Woodlawn neighborhood. A 56-year-old man was standing on the corner when a passing car fired in his direction, police said. He fell to the ground in pain and discovered he was shot in his calf, police said. He was taken to an area hospital and listed in good condition.

About 8:10 p.m. in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue in the Logan Square neighborhood, a 47-year-old man was shot in his arm. Police said the shooting might have been a drive-by. The victim was taken to Norwegian-American Hospital and is now listed in good condition.

Can you believe this? TWENTY ONE? Just what the heck is going on in Chicago? I thought it was illegal to have a gun in Cook County, IL.

Time to withdraw, put up a big fence around that City...

/tongue in cheek

The pricks personal agenda is killing folks that aren’t allowed to defend themselves like most Americans are.

Doom on Daly an his ant farm failure.

It is demonstrably safer to be in Iraq or Afghanistan than to walk or drive around Chicago at night, apparently.

...just another day in Urban America folks...could have just as easily been in Baltimore...or New Orleans...or Detroit...I doubt many of these cases will get solved...no witnesses, because nobody saw anything.

No one is in custody for any of the shootings. Calumet Area, Harrison Area and Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.

Well, there you go. Obama's headed there this weekend - I cant wait to hear about how Malia asked, "When will you stop the shootings, daddy?"

Seriesly! Can you imagine being in one of these South side ‘neighborhoods’??? It must sound like the Fourth of July with all the shooting going on. What are the residents doing, just hiding in their basements and attics?
Why aren’t they marching in the streets? Put the IL Natl Guard on every street corner?

2 weeks ago a Chicago Police Officer Thomas E. Wortham was shot while he was visiting his Parents on the far south side of the City.

He had just returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq and purchased himself a new motorcycle, which he went to his parent's house to show them.

While inside the house, 4 men tried stealing the motorcycle. Wortham went outside to stop the theft and was fatally shot by one of the four men. Wortham's father a retired police officer) shot and killed two of the perp's, wounded a third. The fourth turned himself in later.

Moral to the story: It's safer to be on the streets of Iraq than it is anywhere in the City of Chicago.

Yes, Chicago has the strictest gun ban in the country, yet every day I go to work in the city I'm packing. At the end of the day, I'm going to protect myself when I have to, and I'm going to make it home to my family. Daley's gun ban be damn'ed.

“So much for gun control! Why can’t they control MINORITIES?”

I heard some guy from Chicago on TV awhile back. He was being interviewed about the possibility of the National Guard coming to Chicago to restore order. His response chilled me. He said he would be all for that “if the National Guard could do so IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER”.

The problem is that no one wants to dis the gangbangers.

The opposite of freedom is always fear.

Good work Mayor Daley.

Just a couple of weeks ago the mayor was joking about shooting a reporter trying to tell everyone about how citizens shouldn’t be armed, and how guns should be collected by police.

Good work Mayor, it looks like your philosophy and your jokes are protecting the citizens of Chicago.

Not.

Democrats are the undisputed masters of *sounding* good. In practice their philosophies work not so well.

Because they are not simply minorities, they are soul less savages in Chicago.

My God man how can you say such a thing.

Are you entertaining the thought that minorities are responsible for the majority of these shootings??

That is almost like saying that the reason the jails are filled with minorities is that they do most of the crime.

Such thoughts as yours must be stopped. /s/

I bet it’s safe in the Bama-boys neighborhood this weekend.

I wonder where the Community organiser went to Church this morning. Or did he go to a Mosque?
