Ten killed, including 5-year old girl, and at least 29 others wounded in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend

The first weekend of summer just ended, and it was a particularly bloody one in Chicago. Ten people were murdered--nine of them after being shot. One person was stabbed to death.

Among the murdered was a 5-year-old girl who was shot to death while sitting in a parked car at 3:30am Sunday on the West Side.

While of course this murder is a tragedy, I have to ask: Why wasn't this girl home in bed at that time?

At least 29 others were wounded in shootings across the city.

An 11th person was killed in a police shooting. Cops shot the now-deceased male as he was stabbing another man.
