CPD: Shootings on the rise in Chicago after 51 shot, 8 killed over weekend

Number unveiled by Chicago police on Monday shows that shootings across the city are on the rise. But the city says some progress is being made when it comes to homicides.

How about arresting criminals that actually use the guns instead of going after inanimate objects!

Shootings are way up, but deaths are down by 2. That's just a matter of poor marksmanship.

You could have a thousand murders a day, but as long as we don't have to read mean tweets from orange man bad, we should be OK.

Just another mostly peaceful weekend in chiraq.

How about creating a culture that breeds a generation of children that want to improve their community. Oh that would take work.

If Brown is really that disturbed, and I believe he is, maybe he needs to lead some of his guys on a visit to the Cook County State's Attorney and to the chief judge. Because when it comes to government aiding and abetting crime, they are the problem.

I am curious is the crime being done by predominantly one ethnic group???

2 months ago Lightfoot said, “we are looking forward to having the safest summer in the history of Chicago” … LMAO what a joke

Those are rookie numbers. You’ve got to pump those up.

"Now that lalapolusa is over, we can talk about homicide "

[onlyforeign]

These super predators are out of control

[jerrybrown]

If we just let it keep going like it is, well in a year or two there won't be anyone in Chicago left to shoot. The problem will just take care of it's self.

Step 1: Stop and Frisk.
Without it, there is no Step 2.

[yepforsure]

Let's help them out maybe give them more ammo and training. Need to get these numbers up should be at least a couple hundred every weekend

[kicon]

Alright... Who set Chicago to Self Cleaning?

[johnclark]

Do you think the "bad guys" are the ones turning in their guns?
It's a diversion.
How many of those shot, will die from complications later, not news worthy.

[Jj]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard murders spoken of as statistics to this degree. Splitting hairs at this point

[chemcorps]

Say it with with me residents of Chicago!
*I voted and protested for this*

[longgone]

Stop saying gun violence, guns aren’t violent. it sounds as dumb as saying hammer violence or car violence.
Humans are violent !!!!

Everything is going according to plan in Chiraq.
