US streets were bathed in blood over Independence Day weekend with 142 killed in 379 separate shootings, with Chicago and Philadelphia among the locations worst-hit.
Chicago suffered the greatest bloodshed, with at least 92 shootings over the long weekend. That saw 16 killed and 76 injured.
National Guard soldier Chrys Carvajal, 19, is the only victim so-far named. He was shot while attending a house party after coming home to visit his family for the Independence Day celebrations.
'My brother. He was all of life. He had a bright future in front of him,' Carvajal's sister Jennifer Ramirez told ABC 7.
Ramirez told ABC 7 that her brother was gunned down in a drive-by shooting when he went outside to grab something. A motive is unclear.
Others who survived shootings in the Windy City included children as young as five and six, with others shot in the 12 to 30 age bracket, the Chicago Sun Times, reported.
Two cops were among the city's shooting victims. The unidentified officers were shot in the early hours of Monday while trying to disperse a crowd in the city's Washington Park.
They were rushed to hospital, and are expected to survive their injuries.
Philadelphia saw a total of 17 people shot over the weekend, with 21 injured, and seven killed.
Eleven people were shot, four died and another was stabbed during a six hour orgy of violence in Philadelphia during July 4 celebrations.
Six of those 11 shot were teenagers aged between 15 and 19.
The grim toll included a double murder where more than 100 shots rang out.
Shortly after 10:30pm on Sunday, more than 100 bullets ripped through a West Philadelphia barbeque, hitting 22-year-old Sincarr Johnson Jr. in the head, a 23-year-old man multiple times in the torso and a 16-year-old girl...

I have to think that A Blinken and the FIBs will attribute all 140 of these deaths to white supremacy. After all, why not?
Jocelin Elders had the answer: “What we need here is safer bullets.” Such wisdom!(/bs)
118 of these shootings in Chicago alone. How’s that gun control working out for ya?
Is this that White Supremacist Violence the Biden/FBI Crime Family was talking about?
More news about our country from Radio Free Europe, outside the Digital Curtain, 21st century style.
Nothing to see here. No blacks killed by white cops. These black lives don’t matter, well to the media and other liberals.
Do we have comparable data for Chicago for the Juneteenth weekend?
I wonder what the number would have been if people who vote for democrats (or would if they do not vote) did not shoot people? It seems though - taking the firearms away from law abiding citizens from both dems and conservatives is the only way to solve the problem. Give firearms to the benevolent government to take care of us. no sarcasm needed.
They have priors, and seem to always get away with it.
Note to the world, trust Daily Mail.
Don’t come here. Thx bai
Shut up, take your racism somewhere else.
How many stabbings were there?
How many heads were smashed on the pavement?
And how many of each in Jolly Olde England?
Were there any deaths NOT in dhim-controlled cities?
Only two dead and three bystanders wounded here in Cincinnati. Pretty peaceful considering you can’t put 100 yoots together here after dark without them shooting at each other.
Or Midnight Basketball.
Sounds like they need more range time in Chicago.
Yeah. They look reeeeeeealllly impressive. Big men. Can’t even be bothered to pull their damn pants up.
