CHICAGO – At least 48 people have been shot in the nation’s third-largest city since Monday, a troubling uptick of violence for a city that has seen some recent success in reducing shooting incidents.
The surge in violence, which includes four people who have been fatally shot, comes as Chicago Police Department officials have expressed optimism in recent months that gun violence was on the downward trend in a city that tallied more than 1,400 homicides in 2016 and 2017 combined.

Police officials said several of the incidents, including a drive-by shooting late Wednesday in which a 21-year-old woman was killed and four others were wounded, appear to be gang-related incidents.
At least a few of the victims were children, including a girl, 4, who was shot in the shoulder Tuesday evening as she was with her parents on the porch of their home on the city’s South Side. Police say someone in a dark-colored sedan pulled up near the house before opening fire.
Yeah if only Republicans controlled the city, then they could get rid of all of the crime with the great plan they have for it.... wait they don't have one. Just like with the national debt, immigration, and everything else.
This isn't news, this is just another norm for Chicago. This happens on just about every holiday or if someone coughs or sneezes. Chicago gets what they accept.
48 people shot in Chicago and every body just shrugs. However, let one white person just SAY one slur and the media would riot over it.
