Two children in Chicago and one in D.C. were killed Saturday during a spate of shootings across the country during Fourth of July celebrations.

Davon McNeal, 11, was fatally shot in the head in Washington, D.C., around 9:20 p.m., according to officials.

Police are still investigating the shooting, but Police Chief Peter Newsham said several men opened fire.

“A mother lost her 11 year old son to gun fire tonight,” Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted. “My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family.”

DC Police are offering a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone who can provide information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for the shooting.

In Chicago, a 14-year-old boy was shot and killed in Englewood in a shooting that killed four and left another four injured. He was hit in the back and pronounced dead at Comer Children’s Hospital, according to ABC 7.

Natalia Wallace, 7, was shot in the head in South Austin, a Chicago neighborhood, around 7 p.m., according to the Chicago Tribune.

“Natalia was a very quiet and sweet little girl,” her school, Crown Community Academy of Fine Arts, said in a statement.

“She completed every assignment during class, got along with all of her peers, and colored the most precious pictures ever given to me. Natalia never hesitated to ask for clarity when needed. Sometimes, her quiet spirit gave her the strength to lead the reading lessons within her group, and she soared when it came to doing math. During e-learning, Natalia was always present and participating. At the end of each class session, she would type in the chat box, ‘I Love You.’”

Police said three men got out of a white vehicle and fired at least 20 rounds at Natalia and her family, who were celebrating outside her grandmother’s house.

How come there is no black guilt about killing their own?

One in Atlanta, one in Birmingham, another in Decatur, AL. (I’m not certain on the race of the last one, but it’s an area of high crime.)

If ALL black lives mattered, why are black leaders and the Black Lives Matter organization, SILENT about these ongoing killings of innocent black people, in most cases by other black people?

Natalia Wallace, 7, was shot in the head in South Austin, a Chicago neighborhood, around 7 p.m., according to the Chicago Tribune.

Natalia, known to her family as Natalie, had just finished the first grade at Crown Community Academy of Fine Arts Center.

“Natalia was a very quiet and sweet little girl,” her school, Crown Community Academy of Fine Arts, said in a statement.

“She completed every assignment during class, got along with all of her peers, and colored the most precious pictures ever given to me. Natalia never hesitated to ask for clarity when needed. Sometimes, her quiet spirit gave her the strength to lead the reading lessons within her group, and she soared when it came to doing math. During e-learning, Natalia was always present and participating. At the end of each class session, she would type in the chat box, ‘I Love You.’”

Natalia was shot in the forehead as she and other children played in the yard. She was taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County where she later died, police said.

Some the biggest “white racist” seem to be black?
Just part of the upside down world the prog/commies (with a lot of help from our American loving media) are creating.

Very selfish of this little girl to put her forehead in the path of a protest bullet from BLM. Very selfish indeed. She had it coming.

/sarcasm and morbid humor because if I didn’t laugh I would be crying over the extreme evil and senselessness of everything that is going on today. EVERYTHING. In my wildest dreams 20 years ago, I didn’t see any of this coming — and I have been among those saying that America’s imminent collapse is inevitable, but I never saw it coming THIS FAST.

Never.
