CHICAGO HAS 7 MURDERS,GRAND RAPIDS 3;WHICH CITY HAD A MORE VIOLENT WEEKEND?
(ZH)There's been another horrific and bloody weekend in Chicago, after multiple weekends running of a surge in shootings and homicides. As of the start of Monday at least 49 people had been shot, including seven fatally, based on police tallies and local reports.


Via Chicago Sun-Times
This past weekend was particularly tragic as it included the stabbing death of a 5-year old girl:
(GRA:Age doesn't make anything more or less "tragic"--does it?None of this is tragic,because it's self-inflicted.)

Saturday morning police got a call for a person stabbed on Fulton Boulevard near Kedzie Avenue in East Garfield Park.

Serenity had multiple stab wounds. Neighbors tried to help her before paramedics got there. Paramedics arrived and rushed her to Stroger Hospital of Cook County where she died minutes later.

It is not clear what led to the stabbing, but the suspect walked up to officers and was taken into custody at the scene. Detectives earlier said they were investigating to see if Austin has a history of mental illness.



Like in prior weekends of widespread violence, the victims of shootings and knifings were overwhelmingly young. Teenagers were among the latest shooting victims.


Fox News reviews some of the instances as follows:

The gun violence in the city began Friday night when a 19-year-old man reportedly was shot in the back and chest while walking in an alley. He later was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The next morning, a 17-year-old reportedly was standing in an alley in a different part of the city and was approached by two men. He was shot in the upper torso at about 11:10 a.m. and pronounced dead at the scene, NBC Chicago reported.
In other shootings targeting teenagers, a 17-year-old male was critically wounded in a drive-by attack in Englewood Sunday morning, while a 15-year-old male was struck in the leg after being approached by a vehicle later that day in the South Shore, police told the Chicago Sun-Times.
On Sunday night, a 20-year-old was reported to have died after being dropped off at a hospital in Englewood with a gunshot wound to his head.
GRA:In GR,3 murders,many shootings--all in cars roaming the streets and shooting at pedestrians and drivers.We have 1/8th the population of Chicago but half the murders this weekend--and it's getting worse.
Grand Rapids is in big trouble--because the blacks here are just starting to ramp up the gunfire and murder.Chicago is already at peak violence,but I wouldn't want to live in either city--but I'm forced to live here for a while though.
