The holiday season has arrived but of course the shootings haven't ended in Chicago. Over the long Thanksgiving holiday seven people were murdered and at least 36 others were gunned down.

Of the fatalities, one occurred in Chicago Lawn on the Southwest Side, on the South Side there were two murders in Chatham, and one in Parkway Gardens, and there was one in the East Side neighborhood over on the Indiana border. On the West Side there was a murder in Austin and another in North Lawndale.

Last Thanksgiving weekend there were eight murders and a whopping 68 people wounded.

So there is some good news.
