Chiraq: 3 dead and at least 25 wounded over weekend

Abandoned North
Lawndale home

April dissolved into May but of course the shootings continued in Chicago. Three people were shot to death, a man in North Lawndale, another man in Washington Park, and a woman in Edgewater on the North Side who was shot while riding in a car.

Gun violence is lnot so common in Edgewater.

At least 25 others were wounded.

Chicago officials are congratulating themselves that April murders, while up from April 2015, aren't dramatically higher than they were in the first three months of this year.

That counts as a victory in Chiraq.
