At least 59 people were shot across Chicago, six of them fatally, by Tuesday morning of the Fourth of July weekend.
Last year’s Independence Day weekend ended with 66 people shot — a total that actually stoked cautious optimism with the lowest death toll for the July 4 weekend in nearly a decade.
On Saturday, Chicago Police touted a 14 percent decline in shootings this year compared to the first six months of 2016, and they hoped to tamp down the holiday weekend violence with the help of a new gun violence strike force that includes ATF agents.

I thought I had read that President Trump sent in the feds to help deal with Chicago....I guess that didn’t help?
Final totals have more than 80 shot. City is worse than Mosul.....
-—City is worse than Mosul.....——
Because Black Lives really don’t matter
Heyjackass has 7 dead, 54 wounded.
No, they don’t. They have proved that point over and over again.
My thoughts as well.
Not sure if ‘sending in the Feds’ is a good idea long term or not, but the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois either is afraid to do anything or can’t do anything about it.
Not in the news because no Whitey to blame.
Pretty calm for Chicago on a holiday....
Figured there would be about double that...
Amazing how many are only wounded
Hard to imagine many areas of the body where a bullet wouldn’t tear up something vital
But not enough experienced Community Organizers

Rahm must ecstatic, every dead gang banger votes three times.
Considering the recent Chicago FBI firearms and soft body armor ‘give-away’ to street thugs, how long will it be before someone is shot and killed by one or more of those weapons and some thug uses the body armor to aid in his crimes?
An FBI agent had his car stolen early Monday on the West Side, a source told ABC7.

Forget it Jake, it’s Chicongo.
President Trump offers help, since they are obviously at sea, and their reaction is, “No! We’re going to take the Ferris Buehlers’ guns ... “
With the 4th not being on a weekend, resulted in a lower body count. Next year will be even smaller with the 4th falling on a Wednesday.
