Now here's something you don't see every weekend....unless you live in Chicago:
More than two dozen people were shot across the city between late Saturday afternoon and early Sunday morning.
One died and several others are in critical condition in shootings that left a total of 25 people injured, according to police. A 6-year-old girl was among the wounded.

Hey?! How about that NATO thing though - those police did a great job, eh? All that complaining about being shorthanded? Good guys and gals but they sure don't have any idea how to run a police department, ya know?
