What was it, only yesterday? McCarthy was patting himself on the back for the "drop" in crime. Then the karma train came around the corner:
- Nine people were shot Thursday night and Friday morning, according to police, including two teens and three men in separate attacks in the Englewood and West Englewood neighborhoods.
And evidently, it was a big train:
- Two men were killed and three other people were wounded in a shooting in the Back of the Yards neighborhood this afternoon.
The shooting took place shortly before 5 p.m. in the 5100 block of South May Street, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said. A police spokesman confirmed the shooting took place about 4:41 p.m.
We suppose you could argue the weekend has barely begun at 4:41 PM. Usually, we give it until 5:00 PM - you know, when regular people leave work. Some people just have to get a jump on it all though. Hopefully, the "violence interrupters" are on the job tonight, right?
