Is THIS ongoing news from Chicago (and other violence in metro areas) reported by Mainstream Media??? -perhaps a passing mention, but... of course not - it simply DOES NOT fit the narrative for Media and BLM.

It's STUNNING that mayors/council etc of these communities are not tarred and feathered out of office.

Imagine if ONE Police Officer shot and grazed a citizen ---- HELL would break loose in the Mass Media and BLM.

But these ongoing B on B murders on our city streets - barely a mention, and shhhhh by movement leaders et al. What a disgrace...

Chicago's weekend shootings kill at least 13, including 1-year-old boy, 10-year-old girl, reports say

Chicago faced another bloody weekend, with at least 13 people killed in shootings – including a 1-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, prompting new fears about a violent summer ahead.

The violence, which followed a deadly Father's Day weekend, started Friday evening when a 42-year-old man was shot in the head while walking on the sidewalk in the Austin neighborhood, police said.

On Saturday night, a stray bullet flew through an apartment window in the Logan Square neighborhood and struck the 10-year-old girl, according to police spokesman Roberto Garduno. The girl later died at a hospital.

Preliminary information showed the gunfire came from a group who had been shooting at each other on the block, he said. No one was in custody Sunday.

Earlier Saturday in the Englewood neighborhood on the city's South Side, a 1-year-old boy who was riding in the back of a car driven by his mother was shot when someone opened fire from another car. The mother suffered a graze wound to the head. The boy was identified as Sincere A. Gaston.

Police said the motive for the shooting was unclear.

Superintendent David Brown pleaded with the public for someone to come forward with details.

Around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, 17-year-old Antiwon Douglas was killed. Police said he got into a fight before someone from a large crowd that was gathered in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the city's West Side fired shots.

At least nine other people died in shootings through Sunday. The violence has prompted activists and local leaders to call for more state and federal support.

"It's out of control where even innocent children are losing their lives," said neighborhood activist Raul Montes Jr., who planned a Sunday-evening vigil on the city's southwest side.

He called for federal intervention while a state legislator announced a new task force to address underlying issues.

"Violence is a result of poverty, and must be addressed with human services and support," state Rep. La Shawn Ford, a Chicago Democrat, said in a statement. The group called on federal, state and city leaders for support.
