Among the 23 shot in Chicago over the weekend: a 64-year-old teacher, a young mother and a 15-year-old boy.
The nearly two dozen shootings from Friday afternoon to Monday morning included nine people who were killed, two of whom were teenagers.
An unintended target of a drive-by in Rogers Park, Cynthia Trevillion was killed by a stray bullet Friday night while she waited for a train at the CTA Morse stop. She was a teacher at the Chicago Waldorf School in Rogers Park.
Simone D. McKay, a 26-year-old mother of two, was fatally shot in front of her Rosemoor home early Sunday morning, police said.
Six teenagers were shot over the weekend, including a 15-year-old boy who was critically injured in a shooting in Rogers Park Friday and two teens, 17 and 19, who were killed Saturday night in the Gresham neighborhood.
The teenagers were pronounced dead on the scene in a minivan in the 8900 block of South Union Avenue after police said someone fired at them from a grey sedan.

I understand that, it’s simply mind blowing that they can perpetuate this and find more people to shoot.
It’s amazing how little the usual social justice warriors care about these stories.

Here's the write-up on Trevilion's murder. It's different from most.
Teacher, 64, killed near Rogers Park 'L' station, was caught in drive-by gunfire: police

I don't know, I think this weekend Chicago over-achieved. The rule of thumb is that only 1 in 6 people shot (with a handgun) die. So for 23 shot, you'd expect 3.8 (call it 4) fatalities. Of course, there are weekends when Chicago under-performs on the lethal scale too - it all averages out in the end. The math nerd in me wants to know what the actual mean and standard deviation are for Chicago, seasonal variations and patterns...but not enough to bother actually going and looking this stuff up.
Strange, I didn’t hear a peep about it.
Not in the news because no Whitey around to blame.
Cynthia and Simone are collateral damage and don’t count and no reason for uproar.
The shooter’s mission was accomplished...... that’s the important takeaway
NFL kneelers should spend time with the Chicago teens, maybe they won’t feel so oppressed to the point of violence and murder.
O-Boy another good week in Chicago.....go baby go.
What a wonderful town.
“The funeral business in Chicago must be thriving. Florist shops too?”
Yes, but all this killing has “spurred” a new wave of procreation in the “Black Welfare Mothers United” group. The problem is almost as bad as it is for the “42 Virgins Creation Society” in Islam. Actually neither is at all funny, but it is sadly true. Just what is wrong with an ethnic group that produces cannon fodder instead of decent offspring. You have to feel sorry for a Black child born today, whose lifespan is nowhere near that of the bulk of society.
“was killed by a stray bullet”
The notion of a “stray bullet” is just stupid. Each and every bullet knows exactly where it’s going the minute it leaves the barrel They are not like “homing torpedoes” just wandering around looking for something to hit.
