At least 50 people were shot Thursday into Sunday morning of July 4th weekend across Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.
Six of the shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
ABC 7 reported one of the shooting fatalities occurred around 12:30 a.m. Thursday “in the South Shore neighborhood’s 7100-block of South Jeffery Boulevard.” Two women–ages 37 and 29–were inside a man’s home when the man pulled a gun and demanded they hand over their valuables. The women resisted and the man opened fire. The 29-year-old was “shot in the neck and chest” and died thereafter at the hospital.
At 1:20 p.m. Thursday, a 21-year-old man was on the sidewalk “in the 9900-block of South Bensley Avenue” when someone drove up beside him and began shooting.
