Every time we turned around, someone was getting shot or run over:
- Two people were struck by a hit-and-run driver after a fight outside a River North neighborhood bar early Sunday morning, police said.
We're betting on the loser of the fight being involved.
- A man was killed and two teens were injured in a shooting inside a Back of the Yards neighborhood park on Saturday afternoon, police said.
Someone got out of a maroon van and opened fire, police said, hitting the three who were standing together inside Davis Square Park at 4430 S. Marshfield Avenue about 12:53 p.m.
Solution to the above? Ban parks!
- Adult siblings, a man and a woman, were shot outside their mother's house after she broke up a party Saturday night in the Marquette Park neighborhood, according to police.
[...] About 90 minutes later a 23-year-old woman was shot in the 2700 block of West 62nd Street, also on the Southwest Side in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. She was the passenger in a car that someone approached and fired into, police said.
The south side mayhem continues:
- Five people, including a 13-year-old girl, were injured after being shot in separate shootings on the far South Side this afternoon, police said.
And this wasn't a warm summer weekend either. Fall is looking ugly if this is a preview.
