A helpful reader or ten pointed us in the direction of a blog we had been meaning to bookmark but lost track of:
They peg the current number of homicides in Chicago at 171 (way low?) and the shootings at 1,132 (also low?) through 23 July. They also have a running total of persons killed by Off Duty Clowns (1 - and still our favorite crime story of the year). They post up lots of the CLEARMAP stuff so you can get a feel for the other neighborhood mayhem surrounding a lot of these shooting scenes.
In any event, we understated the number of people walking around with extra holes in them by a few hundred by this blog's unofficial count.
