At least 42 wounded and 5 dead over weekend in Chicago, nine shot in mass shooting

Chicago's new mayor, Brandon Johnson, needs to hurry up and get his "holistic" approach to crime fighting in place. Because over the past weekend, at least 42 people were shot and five people were killed in the city over the past weekend.

The worst of the violence happened shortly after midnight on Sunday when nine people were wounded in a mass shooting in North Lawndale on the West Side. One of the nine died of here wounds, 21-year-old Kanesha Gaines.

Her family, sadly, is no stranger to violence. Her brother was murdered in 2019.
