Five children were among the 12 people killed, including a 3-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl killed in separate shootings on Saturday.
Chicago saw its highest number of shootings victims in a single weekend this year with 99 people shot across the city from Friday evening to Monday morning, 12 of them fatally. Five of those killed were minors.
The latest child fatality happened early Monday in Austin on the West Side.
Two boys, 15 and 16, were walking in an alley at 12:18 a.m. in the 4700 block of West Superior Street when someone fired at them, possibly from a gray sedan, according to Chicago police. The 15-year-old was shot in his leg, chest and abdomen. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead. The other boy, 16, was hit in the ankle and taken to Stroger Hospital in fair condition.
A 13-year-old girl was killed and two other teens were wounded Saturday night in Austin on the West Side.
Two boys, 15 and 16, were sitting on a porch when one of them noticed a red laser pointing at him and heard gunfire, police said. The younger boy was struck in the back and the older boy was struck in the leg. They were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition.
A 3-year-old boy was fatally wounded about two hours earlier when someone opened fire at his father while they were driving in Austin.
The toddler, identified as Mekay James, was struck in the back about 6:25 p.m. when someone in a blue Honda pulled behind the black SUV the boy’s 27-year-old father was driving in the 600 block of North Central Avenue and fired several rounds, authorities said.
A police source said the father was believed to be the intended target of the shooting.

When is the slaughter of Blacks by Blacks in Shitcago going to end? Addressed to the gay, black mayor of Shitcago.
Wow
Black lives matter but only if a white cop is involved. These people make Leo DiCaprio look like an amateur when it comes to utter hypocrisy.
Well, Fathers’ Day is a traumatic event in the Black community!
99 shot, 12 fatally...
So close but eventually they’ll break the 100 mark and the fatalities will rise as well and then we’ll have a real basketball score!
Unfortunately nowadays black men have fathered so many children of so many different women that it would be impossible to sort it all out.
Incidentally, how incongruous are all those white faces holding those BLM signs.

These Black Lives Don’t Matter. ....
At least to the Marxist group BLM
One might ask, why with this carnage is their so little mention by the MSM and no mention by the likes of BLM. As usual, when one digs deep enough, there is corrupt politics at play.
Chicago gangs pump contributions to Chicago Dems. It’s a win-wi for them. The gangs get to operate unimpeded and the Dems stay in office. The weekly body count of people trapped in those neighborhoods is, for them, acceptable. In fact the politicians just turn around and hypocritically condem the very killing they are enabling.
And it’s been going on a long time. This is the future Dems have in store for us. A three-tiered society with ruling Dems at the top, enforcer groups like BLM, Antifa, and the FBI in the middle, and the rest of us at the bottom. Nothing but fodder to be explored and pitted against each other to deflect the blame from the politicians who created the circumstances in the first place.

FYI, Clubs and Bars still not open. Lakefront and other events also not open. I mean, most latenight events etc, are shutdown and you still have 99 shot. smh
Black Lives That Don’t Matter!
Black lives DON’T MATTER when it is Chicago, HOME of their beloved leader, one muslim named Burrrack Hussein Obammy, from Indonesia!!! NOT from the USA, yet violated US Law by being elected to the highest office in the land by idiots who do not care about the Republic. Naw, Chicago, MURDER capital of America, doesn’t care, not even about little 3 and 4 and 5 year old children MURDERED BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!! Stupid is as stupid does, every day in Chicago.
“Addressed to the gay, black mayor of Shitcago.”
Addressed to the gay, black, repulsive, obnoxious, hideous, foul mouthed, hateful, useless democrat/communist mayor of Shitcago.
These cops shooting black people....it just needs to stop.
Black Lives Matter*

It sure would save a lot of money if the shooters were to improve their shooting skills, 99 shot with only 12 fatalities......that’s embarrassing.
