At least 35 shot and 4 killed over weekend in Chicago; Pride Parade riot?

June is over and people are still shooting each other in Chicago. Over the past weekend, four people were shot to death and at least 31 others wounded.

Of the fatalities, three were the result of an early Sunday morning argument in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side.

The night before, a man was shot to death in Humboldt Park on the Northwest Side.

Also of note was the Pride Parade. Sunday afternoon, in the Lakeview neighborhood on the North Side, the annual Pride Parade took place. But the party continued into early morning where the police said a "mass arrest" occurred. Details are still trickling in, but it appears what happened was a riot.

Next month, the Democrat National Convention comes to Chicago.

Just saying.
