Chicago police beefed up patrols for Memorial Day as more than 60 people were shot during the violent three-day holiday weekend.

Somebody needs more time at the range.

Definitely a lack of gun control. Waste of ammo.

Wrong people are in the wrong city at the wrong time. How come the first family never vacations at their REAL HOME?

But I thought that Chicago had some of the best gun control laws in the country?

Murders are down because Chicago hospitals employ very experienced shock trauma ER doctors. They even train front line medics. Way to go Chicago.
