CHICAGO -- More than 60 people were shot over the holiday weekend, 11 of them fatally.

One of the most recent shootings left two teenage girls injured, one critically.

It happened just after 11:30 p.m. Monday outside of Leland Giants Park. The 14-year-old was with a 13-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy in a van. The 13-year-old's father had just left the van to speak with someone in a nearby house when two people came up and fired shots into the vehicle, police said.

While the 13-year-old sustained a graze wound and is in stable condition, the 14-year-old was shot in the back and is in critical condition at Comer Children's Hospital. The 2-year-old was unharmed, police said.

But I thought all the liberals, disgusted with Gov Walker, were pulling up stakes in Wisconsin and moving to Minnesota?

Unbelievable. Thanks, IL politicians for doing this to my hometown.

My Dad’s caretaker was a young African American who grew up not far from where he did (around 22nd and Pulaski)...Her parents are still there.

Her parents have installed motion detectors all around their home. She told me that she goes there and she visits and she gets the heck out of there. She’s afraid for her life.

I believe Chicago has the willingness and ability to kill many more than they did this past weekend.

Folks, you are liberals. Killing is in your nature. Please endeavor to remember your liberal forbearers (Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.) and strive to meet their ideals.

Imagine a Chicago in which all liberals are gone, due to their own ideals.

I’ll take some of that brass! .45ACP and .357 Mag preferred. ( No .40 cal, please.)

Thanks!

739 dead and rising. Only 4 more days. Can they top 750?

785 so far. I think 800 is a possibility. I remember the 80s and 90s where the murder total was always above 400 in DC.

One of the biggest reasons this will continue is that we won't be able to have an honest conversation over the reasons for the murder spike. Lefties won't face any of the hard truths and will go after guns again. The GOP won't be much better.

The U.S. needs an exit strategy from the Chicago quagmire.

They are over-achieving. Nationally, the average is 6 out of 7 people shot (with handguns) survive, or 1 in 7 dies. They are a little above this (maybe cold weather factors into survival rates after someone is shot and immobilized?). Of course, there have been other weekend reports where they were significantly below the 1 in 7 fatality rate, so I guess it all averages out.

Good thing they've got all that "gun control" to keep them safe. ;-/ How's that working out for you Chicago? I know, "let's add more 'gun control' ..." This reminds me of the old joke about "...we've cut it 3 times and it's still too short..." It doesn't work, but the dumb-backside liberals just keep trying. It's almost as if they have other goals other than public safety in mind...

My vote is the elimination of marriage and the father figure in the family. All it took was a little bribe money from Uncle Sugar.

I am going to let you in some secret. I live and work in Chicago for more 20years. We do not really care about this kind of things because it’s been contained in certain neighborhoods. Besides there are US navy medical staff working at cook county hospital in Chicago, honing their treatment skills on gunshot wounds. It has very positive outcome for them.

Fake news. Chicago has Gun Control...Mayor Emanuel said so. This cannot be true.

Those are core components. I am also talking about the acute issues, like the war on police. Is there another drug war going on? Is there any racial component, black v. brown turf war as the Mexicans take over domestic drug trafficking?
