Chicago should have been site of families gathering for Christmas like any other city in America this past weekend, but the Illinois metropolis instead saw a shocking wave of gun violence that ended with over 40 civilians being shot, 11 of whom died of their wounds. This comes after an already bloody year for the ostensibly gun-free city, which has already seen 600 die in gun-related incidents over the course of 2016:
“The violence started with a non-fatal shooting around 4:30 pm Friday. It ended with a non-fatal shooting around 11:30 pm Christmas night.
A double-homicide ushered in the midnight hour on Friday when “two men walked out of a West Side Austin neighborhood home in the 500 block of North Laramie, and at least one person opened fire on them.” Both men were struck multiple times and killed.
The last of the holiday weekend fatalities occurred around 9:20 pm on Christmas night. Chicago Police indicate “people were gathered for a party on the porch of a home in the 8600 block of South Maryland when someone wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt walked out from an adjacent alley and opened fire.” Five individuals were wounded and two were killed as a result.”
