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.

Chicago is a war zone.

Do not go out without having a CAR-15 carbine under your trench coat, with 40 round mags.

The sad truth is that in many of these cases, a time difference of 30 minutes and a loaction one block over and the roles of victim and killer would be reveresed.

was killed by a stray bullet

Some bullets have your name on them, the ones addressed "To Whom It May Concern" are a bitch.

Well it certainly looks like their shooting skills is improving in Chicago. 9 out of 23 is nearly 50%

The funeral business in Chicago must be thriving. Florist shops too?

Are they running out of space in the cemeteries?

At those rates, there’s not going to be anyone left to shoot at, that can’t be sustainable.

That’s nothing but a war zone there.

It has been going on for years, decades even, at varying levels.

Hey Obama-mess, Hillary Loser Clinton:

Guess did much, much more to help Chicago than POTUS44 in 8 years. That would be POTUS45 who assigned 150 FEDERAL ATF Agents to Chicago to help with shootings.

At least POTUS45 is trying.

But then POTUS44 must have his presidential library with no books but a basketball court...
