25 shot in mass attacks over 2.5 hours in Chicago

Four people in the 1600 block of North Avers in Lawndale. Eight in the 1300 block of West 76th Street in Gresham. Six in the 1300 block of South Millard, in Lawndale again. Four more in the 900 block of Karlov Avenue in West Humboldt Park.

At least 36 people were shot in in Chicago Saturday through Sunday morning, three fatally, with 25 of them shot in five mass attacks over about 2 1/2 hours, and walk-ins at west side hospitals complicating efforts to determine who was shot where.

Sixteen of those shot were teenagers. Twelve were 17 or younger.

At 16th Street and Avers, where evidence of the annual block party was scattered on the ground, lime green T-shirts dotted the groups of people still gathered on sidewalks and in streets. Crime scene tape crossed 16th Street east of Springfield and stretched far down the block past Penn Elementary School on the south side of 16th.

3. The areas of the shootings are on the south and west side of the city.

Chances are you aren't going there. As a hospice nurse I do go there sometimes. For you I would suggest being careful about having your cell phone out in public places. Shootings in tourist areas do happen but they are very rare compared to the south side and west side.

But the point is people live there. People suffer and it's not getting better. I am nervous walking in those neighborhoods. But, I think about all the people who fear leaving their homes every day. It is really bad.

2. How terribly heartbreaking...but wasn't Trump going to fix this his 1st day

in office? Remember, he had some secret plan only he could use?

4. Does anyone in city hall even care?

6. Rahm is very unpopular. But, there are so many other candidates and

no one has anywhere near the kind of money or connections he has. So far President Obama has endorsed a lot of candidates and I am very surprised he has not yet endorsed Rahm.
