Cops: 11 dead, 43 wounded in Father's Day weekend shootings
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | June 20, 2016 | Sun-Times Staff

Eleven people were killed and at least 42 more - including a 3-year-old boy - were wounded in shootings across the city between Friday evening and early Monday, according to Chicago Police.

The most recent homicide happened early Monday on the South Side. A 22-year-old man was shot in the back about 1:30 a.m. and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he later died.

About 1:30 p.m., someone used a high-powered assault rifle to kill a 17-year-old boy outside a Catholic church in the Back of the Yards neighborhood during Sunday Mass. The boy was walking outside Holy Cross Church when a light-colored Saturn drove by and someone inside opened fire, striking him multiple times. He died at the scene.

A 3-year-old boy was critically wounded in a Sunday evening shooting in Woodlawn.

He was in a vehicle in the 6100 block of South Kimbark when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, striking the boy in the right shoulder. The driver took him to the University of Chicago Medical Center and he was transferred in critical condition to Comer Children's Hospital.

Additionally, a Chicago Police officer shot and seriously wounded a man brandishing a gun at the Puerto Rican Festival in Humboldt Park Sunday night on the West Side, police said.

Yes there were - on of my engineers was telling me about gunshots in celebration a few blocks from his home.

Just no murders that we know of.

The Chicongo urban ferals shot people on Father’s day?

Fathers, they have fathers? When did that occur?

Or did someone assume “Mack Daddy” to be the equivalent of “Daddy”?

If so, must have been another Libtard presstitute. Or a LibCom member of the Academented.

It is clear that Chicago must pass some strict gun control laws, now! (Oh, wait)

Because nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” like gunfire.

Obama probably wants to change it to "Happy Baby-Daddy Day".

Mostly because the “youths” doing the killing have no discernible fathers.

That's not actually the kind of thing I was referring to. I was referring more to the downtown scene where hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets. Around here ("southside") a lot of fireworks were let off.

Thankfully it was not a low powered tube fed handgun caliber rifle like the Howard Johnsons killer used in New Orleans back in 1973! Killed 9 people, wounded 13.

Got the ball rolling for the first organized SWAT teams.

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised I haven't heard some mention of how Father's Day is so obviously racist. /sarc

I'm thinking it cuts a little too close to the real and shameful problem.
