Chicago: 4 dead at at least 52 wounded over weekend

The first half of 2019 ended with a lot of bloodshed.

From Fox Chicago:
Citywide gun violence over the weekend left at least four people dead and 52 others hurt.

An outburst of shootings killed one person and wounded 20 others in the first 12 hours of the weekend, which began at 5 p.m. Friday and ended 5 a.m. Monday.

It’s the second time this year that at least 50 people were hurt in gun violence incidents within city limits during a weekend, but police said shootings in the first half of 2019 were at a four-year low.

In St. Louis, Missouri, congressman Lacy Clay is proposing tougher gun laws in the city to help curb the violence. I guess he's looking at the rousing success Chicago's strict gun laws have produced.

Got to wonder how many serial killers are walking around there plugging people knowing the police and the courts wont even give them a second look.

Citywide? Would it really be "citywide" if one plotted it on a map? Or would it be concentrated in a few areas?
