Eight killed and at least 38 others wounded over weekend in Chicago, as well as one mass shooting

Cooler weather has arrived during Lori Lightfoot's Summer of Joy but tempers sadly remain hot.

Over this past weekend, eight people were shot to death and at least 38 others were wounded. 

And there was a mass shooting, in Gresham on the South Side, where one person was fatally shot and four others were wounded. 

Apologists for Chicago like to mention that shootings are down compared to the last two years but much higher still than in 2019. 

Overall crime is higher.
