A toddler and a 10-year-old girl were among 14 people shot to death in Chicago in yet another weekend of gun violence that has rocked the city over the past month.
Between Friday and Sunday morning, a total of 52 people were shot in Chicago, according to police department records.
"As a mother, I am tired of the funerals. I am tired of burying our children," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted, adding that the city was in the throes of a "gun violence epidemic."
The latest carnage in the Windy City comes just a week after more than 100 people were shot, 14 fatally over the Father's Day weekend.
The string of violent weekends also follows the deadliest day for shootings in Chicago in decades. On May 31, the police investigated 18 homicides, the most the city has seen in a single day in 60 years.
On Saturday, a 22-year-old woman was driving with her 20-month-old son in the neighborhood of Englewood on Chicago's South Side when just after 2 p.m. a car pulled up beside them and an occupant opened fire, according to a police incident report. The mother was grazed in the head by a bullet while her son was shot in the chest and later died at a hospital, police said. No arrests had been made as of Sunday.

Only the 6 blacks killed by police matter.
The 6000 blacks killed by blacks does not matter.

"the city is in the throes of a "gun violence epidemic"...... So the "solution" is taking guns away from law-abiding people who live far away.

There is no solution as long as Chicago Officials don't address their GANGS.....Chicago is a “Sanctuary city” fully loaded with every local and foreign gang members possible, always fighting turf wars. The citizens live in a gangster city where they are simply collateral damage among the gangs.

".... Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted, adding that the city was in the throes of a 'gun violence epidemic'....This is laughable. If this is the case, the city of Chicago has been in the throes of a gun violence epidemic for decades.
Does this woman think everybody is stupid but her?
