Chicago Public Schools have their first day of classes today. Tragically, 14-year-old Rayjohn Harshaw and 17-year-old Ashuntice Wilburn, won't be in attendance. In separate shootings, both were shot to death over the weekend.
Overall, a total of seven people were killed during the weekend in Chicago, and at least 31 others were wounded.
In related news, last week Chicago's new mayor, Brandon Johnson, named his choice for police superintendant, Larry Snelling. The city council needs to ratify this selection. Considering that Johnson prefers a "holistic" approach to crime fighting, rather than a lock-em-all-up strategy, Chicago's violence epidemic will continue.
