Eight people were killed and 41 others wounded in shootings across Chicago during a period of just over 48 hours this weekend. As advocacy groups gathered to call for peace on Mother's Day weekend, those pleas went unanswered as violence once again plagued communities across the city.
At least 24 of the weekend's shootings happened in an eight hour period from Friday night to Saturday morning.
The most recent fatal shooting occurred at 3:21 p.m. Sunday, when an unknown male was found on the street in the 3400 block of W Arthington in the Homan Square neighborhood, according to police. He had multiple gunshot wounds, police said, and was taken to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police said he was between the ages of 16 and 25, and they did not know his identity as of early Sunday evening.
The rest of the weekend's shootings are as follows: .....
If proof of 'gun control' failure was ever needed, this has to be it. As usual it is the criminals and gangs that are the ones with the guns, while the good guys for the most part remain unarmed and vulnerable. It is these criminal shootings that inflate the statistics which are used against the law abiding to further expand 'gun control'. All the laws and bans have achieved nothing.
