Despite dips in recent years in gun violence and the sanctioned stay-at-home orders, Chicago saw it's deadliest Memorial Day weekend in four years.
At least eight people were fatally shot over the weekend and 24 were injured in shootings as of Monday afternoon, according to Chicago Police data reviewed by CNN.11 children shot in yet another violent Chicago weekend Last year, there were at least five people killed over the Memorial Day weekend, This was down from the at least six fatalities in 2018, 2017 and 2016, according to Chicago police and CNN affiliate WGN.
I have a meeting with SenatorCantwell on Monday to discuss this!
Where is the outrage? One black man dead in Minneapolis and the city is destroyed and the mayor fires cops. Carnage across Chicago on a nightly basis and it’s handled like a regular activity. No arrests. No rioting. Nothing but continuation
Where are the protest against violence in the community
t e crackhead rats..
What? It's not Trumps fault? I'M SHOCKED!!!
This is what can happen when people have easy access to guns. These guns need to go.
And yet they have strict no gun laws. How dare these criminals defy the laws and carry a gun let alone use one. Let's ban all guns in Chicago. Oops they did that and it's not working at all.
D*mit
Never ever will go to Chicago. The city has the highest crime/murder rate in the US.
yall yanks killing and culling.
GunsAmerica Trump Republicans NRA avaricious hypocrites and sycophants will not do anything to save American lives, even during pandemic Trump's Neo Nazi gun militia brandishing guns during protests 'reopen, corona is lie' Trumpian fools killing Americans
the tower once again judges its citizens
Imagine that!
So sad
Maybe its because of the stay home order ! People are tired of being prisoners to the democratic party !
😥
And gun control but demoncrats are loved
Not one word from DRUMP
Crush the people! MissionAccomplished! Chicago
Because of the incompetent idiots running the place- DUH!
Not surprised at all. You should check all weapons at the border.
Where is civilized world? see no evil, here no evil, speak no evil. Racist not to call out epidemic of savagery by this race.
Sheesh
POTUS realDonaldTrump NRA your propaganda has given them arms to kill each other. You are the real criminals/murderers.
Good thing they directed thier important police resources to arrest black churchgoers.
What about the terrorist attack in Corpus Christi Texas on the Naval base?
I’m so glad LoriLightfoot is keeping everyone safe by keeping churches and the lakefront closed tho. Wow she’s doing an awesome job guys. chicagosmayor
Well it’s Chicago soooooooooooo...........
But, but, but... White nationalism is America's greatest cause of domestic terrorism.
But didn’t the gang members get the news about staying at home?
Good thing those gun laws in Chicago are working so well.
Chicago is a hornets nest.
If they will commit murder and attempted murder, do you think even more gun laws will deter them?
That's OK, the mayor is much more concerned with staging raids on churches.... Sadly, large parts of Chicago rank right up there with the sh**hole 3rd world countries.
All of the deaths were ruled COVID19...
Surprised? NOPE.
Cool.
Order the gangs to stop shooting people.
How many shooters did Chicago PD arrest and remove from the community? Or are the shooters still roaming free to shoot 30 more people next weekend?
How are those restrictive 2A laws working out for ya? Democrats are killing black America!
Con news network.. bet you can spin this to it being Trumps fault.. come on. So many haters need to hate from your bias news..
Were the shooters six feet away and distancing themselves? That’s LoriLightfoot real focus right now.
StaySafeChicago
People are pissed. Pent up anger from being forced to stay at home.
Chicago will probably record covid as cause of death
Tally 8 more coronavirus deaths!
Democrats rule this city.
Ms. Lori Lightfoot kept them safe!
Only the criminals have guns, not working out too well
How many of these victims died from Covid?
Seems like a more serious story than what is currently on your website
Wait...you mean crime just doesn't stop and the thugs just don't stay at home because the govt. tells them to? I don't understand.
I bet they all died of covid.
I thought they had strict gun laws?
Shocking..... at least the news actually picked it up instead of virus and political opinions.
Keep voting blue Chicago.
A friend of mine works in the post office with an underlying condition there was an outbreak I said have you been wearing your mask he said Trump don’t wear one so why should I?
Apparently the Chicago criminals obey the stay at home and the no gun law equally.
So
Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me
Where is JB?
Beetle Juice Mayor doing a hell of a job
Awful
Weird, it’s almost like criminals don’t follow laws, no matter how strict. You know, like gun laws.
Chicago is at it again 🤦🏿♂️
It is what we expect from Chicago.
And somehow white supremacist are America's biggest threat to black males.. FakeNewsCNN
Apparently that dictatator of a mayor’s orders weren’t followed very well! Maybe she should have been out patrolling the streets herself putting the fear of the devil into those people. And maybe they would have been lucky enough for her to have been caught in the line of fire!
Obamaville?
Gun related COVID deaths are the worst.
So much for Mayor Lightfoot strategies. It’s not the virus that should lockdown the city down it’s the low life hoodlums that have no respect for themselves or another person’s life. One term mayor fir sure
All those white supremacists
OMG!!! what is really going on in the windy city.
The Democratic Base.
And the mayor closed churches?
Shoot-at-home orders
Clearly something wrong after being 1/2 hour late. SWAYING DRAMATICALLY. jaketapper wolfblitzer CNNnewsroom
So which is more deadly in a short period of time as in minutes: Covid-19 or being shot dead?
Democrat city but blame Trump
So racist banning people from coming to USA has not reduced terrorism there.
If Kanye could make all the right decisions....
It’s great the new Mayor finally took a hard stand against pedestrians and shoppers and not the never-ending bloodbath of inner city gang violence that’s claimed thousands of lives and wreaking havoc for decades. Shame if someone went out for a haircut - better lock ‘em up.
Call the mafia
Back to normal everyday life, huh?
Gangbangers dont follow rules...Did you think it would be different? Give your collective heads a shake Sparky...
COVID reading this
Violence among teens, young adults is out of control and no one even talks about the seriousness of the problem
If everyone stayed at home unless any emergency then the casualties might be less, I guess!
A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.🇺🇸
Open us up! Liberty! Open our schools sooner the better
Blacks killings blacks. Oh my people
Stay 😭 Away From Death 😭🇱🇷😭
Очень круто
Let me guess.....Southside and black peoples....sheesh...racism is the least of their problems....thx mayor heavy hand....
In 4 years? What y’all been doing on Memorial Day weekends?
Chicago is an urban jungle.
Cuomo needs to apologise to the 6,000 people's families he sentenced to death. Only an idiot would put diseased people with non diseased in an enclosed environment. Cuomo did that. His excuse laughable.
Ok let me know when all the protests begin. I may be waiting for a while.
When does it end?
Well, there was those dangerous churches that needed to be shut down.
No surprise. Democrat leadership at work
And yet the mayor is raiding churches. What is wrong with Chicago?
AMERICA Open For Business!
Vivan los EEUU Y FUERA LOS COMUNISTAS.
My heart goes to the family of the ones dead and to the injured, safe recovery
Why now
Did strict gun law ever provide less clime? No . If you think stay home would peevent less ilelgal gun violence, you have to be stupid .
Couldn’t wait to get outside and start shooting again I see. Sad world. Our poor kids have no chance.
Huh We’re they wearing their masks? You know , it’s the law.
Even pandemic doesn’t stop mass shooting! 🙄🙄🙄
Another 5 people have been shot in the city of Chicago in the last 30 minutes!!!!!!
Out of 3.1mil folks save it CNN. As a person that works at the main Trauma Hospital this is online for this time of year. Sad but true. For the year death are down. I got a better story for you, there are hundreds of black women and girls missing in Chicago CPD has done nothing.
Wow. More people murdered than died from CNNVirus.
My GOD 😓
//bit.ly/learnhowtoprofitontiktok
But were they wearing masks?
i don’t think anyone is surprised by this
😢
Is this sort of gun violence taking place in a particular neighborhood? I would like to see a breakdown by neighborhoods, age, and race.
Mass shooters have been waiting for sheltering to end
SMH.
🙏🏻
no coronavirus there no distancing shame
What a huge revelation!!!! Criminals don't care about laws, let alone unconstitutional stay-at-home orders!!! Keep up the amazing journalism, CNN. AND, as always, STAY CLASSY!!!
Did they count towards covid-19
Wow
Gotta love that great Democrat leadership...
Wonders what the stats were in other large cities.
Why aren’t they protesting? Oh I know. They accept it when it’s black on black.
We have COVID-19 to worry about why could some idiot feel okay to shoot another human being? The level of illiteracy these people posses is so wanting.
The crime will keep increase as long as Democrats keep welcoming illegal immigrants, use hard working tax payers’ money to feed non-working and less educated people to have more kids, etc.
Good thing Lightfoot was breaking up barbecues and shit, gotta keep Chicago safe!
Wow.... They broke the law? Shameful...
Lol “DESPITE STAY AT HOME ORDERS”... What a joke.
Mr TRUMP !!!
🙏🏻
Another liberal ran city right
Do these people work on a quota or something?
A city run by a Democrat mayor...What’s the surprise?
Despite stay at home orders haha
Drove through there a couple months ago . Craziest drivers I've ever seen. Its no wonder .
Where's Chicago's mayor? Why isn't anything done about this? Why doesn't CNN ask the mayor? The governor?
Chicago has been on fire since the year began. Surprised cnn covered actual news for once
Damn republicans
I was actually thinking they all died of covid19 so it means other deaths are also Serious now ! I mean injured from Gunshot is serious to infectedfromCovid19 right cos that Covid19 disappears in lost within two weeks gunshot is very traumatic
Democrat mayor calls police instead on church goers.
There's a good chance none of the shooters were Asian. Probably not white either, but definitely not Asian.
But at least they arrested those church goers.
I’m sure Pritzker is praying they had Covid at the time.
So Illinois has the strictest gun laws in the country, AND the most killings in America. How is more gun control going to solve this? If a human wants to inflict harm on another human being, they will find a way to do it. We should focus on installing respect for all lives.
So glad Chicago is run by a staunch democrat because they will keep everything in order! FAIL! The ignorance on the left is appalling. Hey it’s Trumps fault, yanno what, 8 years ago when the same shit was happening there it was Trumps fault also because the god Obama was perfect.
Criminals don’t follow mandates!
Did the murderers wear masks? That’s the bigger question Lori Bigfoot wants answers to
Crickets from Dem politicians!
🤦🏾♀️ let me go read the stupid reason why 8 people are dead. Over the freaking weekend!
Would ‘t have happened if Carl Winslow was still on the beat.
This is fake news. Chicago has some of the tougheft gun laws in the country. Gun crimes are going down not up. Hahaha
CNN, HOW CAN WE PUT THIS BLAME ON TRUMP SOME HOW!!..... THINK HARD! FIGURE IT OUT! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT AT MAKING THIS STUFF LOOK LIKE HIS FAULT SOME HOW! MAKE UP SOMETHING AGAIN!
So 8 more corona deaths
Typical Dem area
There are American detainees who were severely tortured, one of whom was killed under torture, and we see it, but we did not find any interest from you until we explain to the American people what happened I was hoping that the American people knew what happened😭😭😭
Well if your willing to shoot someone, my guess is you really don’t care about stay at home orders.
There are American detainees who were severely tortured, one of whom was killed under torture, and we see it, but we did not find any interest from you until we explain to the American people what happened I was hoping that the American people knew what happened😭😭😭
Put Chicago under martial law for a yr
And they all died from COVID-19, it must have been on the Bullets that hit them, they really should sanitize those bullets, Maybe Lightfoot the tiny Tiny Tyrant can pass a ordnance, Da Comrades
Back to normal
IL/Chicago is a joke! The mayor’s & governor’s priorities are dictated by the DNC and they go along with it! Neither has control over the state and DNC’s has no clue what is needed. RedWave2020
They had some catching up to do
And the mayor is shutting down churches? That city doesn’t have to worry about COVID-19, they will just kill themsleves! Damn she has her priorities in line 🤬
Where's Barack Obama Where's sharpton where all these hypocrites at. Obama can't even do s*** from the state he's from. Pathetic
Not surprising. DEM PARTY in control for DECADES!
But but but. The great governor told them to stay home. Suppose these count in the tally of chink virus deaths?
Truly sad! When we get a real president and a real DOJ we pray that situations like this in Chicago will change! To many young Americans have to much time on there hands. We should look at re implementing our draft system! There no structure in our city streets!
Obamas home town which he did nothing for to help his home town
But they have the strictest gun laws in the country! Breaking News it’s the people not the weapons moron!
10 dead and 37 wounded now as of right now 🤷♂️
Strict gun laws, lockdowns, and chicago is still a shithole of crime.
Yeah, because democrats are pushing people to the boiling!! I wouldn’t be surprised if Americans turn on the media that is forcing this lock down event. People are dying as a result!! Does CNN feel good about their mission to cause misery!!! Is it really helping a Democrat’s!!
What the fuck is wrong with this country
Why Chicago, why
But the mayor got another hsircut,do its sll good. Minorities, wake up. Democrats & black leaders are not your friends. Its all a con
Well, I guess now that the covid crisis seems to be passing, we can get back to our normal raping, pillaging, and murdering each other again like the good old days.
Sad. Hundreds enjoyed a crowded pool together. Wonder how that’s gonna work out.
With getting her hair done , and giving church goers a hard time , there’s just no time for the other stuff .
Ah... well all the loonies have been let out of house confinement it seems. Now we have them to deal with as well as the virus. Not fun.
Meh! Let me know when there are not mass shootings occurring across the US. Now that WOULD be news.
I’m sure many fathers will be punishing this misbehavior severely once these teens return home.
Blame China.
That's every weekend, why start posting now?
All due to Covid. Right? Is that how this works?
Like I said they need to wear bullet proof vest instead of a mask.
Does crime not listen to stay at home orders? I’m shocked.
The Mayor there is having an exceptional impact. She’s using the police to force people from Churches. While her city implodes from gang violence! But...the Pot Stores are open. And she just got gambling legalized! And she does get her hair done.
Where are Jessie and Al? Oh, thats right......
city of Batman~
Ask Biden , how do you stop this? Get ready for a stupid answer.
Half will be classified as Covid deaths.
So sad.
The stricter the gun laws, the greater the gun violence.
America is back.....
I'm sure all of the shootings were from afar so at least the thugs were practicing social distancing.
How about we Move Chicago and put it somewhere else?
Sounds like they weren't practicing good social distancing guidelines. Where's Karen when you need her? 🤣
Chicago citizens are shooting each other and the mayor decides to go after Christians instead
How dare realDonaldTrump go golfing when all those people getting shot and killed in Chicago? ( see how that works?)
It’s like criminals don’t care about stay at home directions and gun control laws. Who would have thought 🤦♀️
gen·tri·fi·ca·tion
It’s ok they wore masks
Liberals pushing gun restrictions surely understand that the backlash from COVID-19 lockdowns will set back their movement by 25+ years.
MORE COVIDS....
w_h_thompson has the numbers tracked
Toughest gun laws in the country proves that the guns aren't the real underlying problems here...
UNEXCUSABLE :(
Imagine voting for that Blackfoot broad like it was a good idea or something
The left: we have a crisis on our hands COVID is killing African Americans at large. Mean while in Chicago: the left is silent on daily shootings killing African American in a city with the tightest control in the nation.
Shocked to see CNN didn’t say it was covid related.
I thought the gun law in Chicago is very strict? When law abiding citizens cannot have guns, the criminals have upped hand. Alaska allow women to have hidden guns. The incidents of rape went to 0. Florida can carry weapons so Tourists get robbed
Queue all the MAGA trash and bot accounts to drop the usual rhetoric about Dem controlled states while leaving out all shreds of facts.
CNN been dying to say Gun Violence. But it’s Littlefoot Violence.
Perhaps if Chicago had tougher stay-at-home orders these types of incidents would stop.
Ah not a gun problem.
Men of color should not wear masks in public for fear of being shot by white cops. We are being hunted! MaskOffMovement SpreadLove ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Wait, strict guns laws. Stay at home orders. Are you suggesting criminals aren’t law abiding citizens?
And what was the mayor doing? Raiding African-American churches for holding Sunday services! Great use of Chicago’s police force while the gang banging continues! DemocraticPolicyAtWork
If it was gangsta I just hope none of them had any children so the cycle can stop. I know that hope is forlorn if they were over the age of 13.
Chicago, go figure
Thank god she is going after the churchs. Imagine how high it eould be otherwise.
Why they keep killing each other there
Just like Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD
Democrat controlled go figure?
I guess criminals don’t follow orders.
They are hungry and no money. This is a bad sign.
Is he a troubled young white boy, or a black terrorist?
😭
So in other words, it's a weekend like every other weekend in Chicago.
Aren't handguns banned in Chicago? Must be great black market for them!
Unless it's a one-shot deer rifle there's NO reason for anyone to own a gun. Stop calling us a first world country until. Chicago shooting GunControlNow
What’s mayor Beetlejuice have to say about that?
not even theRona can stop the idiocy😒
چ عجب
The ONLY thing the Coronavirus didn’t disrupt is crime in Chicago! Nothing can stop that.
The city is ran by Democrat Politicians...what you expect! Ask them to do something already. I forgot...they on vacation again. As Usual Communist News Network
Good to see Covid hasn’t slowed business there.
Murder and attempted murder are illegal. If Chicagoans aren’t going to follow those laws, I doubt they’ll mind a “stay at home order”.
So when is the trust fund porker Chicago mayor announcing the shutdown of the south side of Chicago?
Holy crap cnn reported this..
What's really going on in the world? 💔😔
blue city and state
Thugs not obeying laws, I am shocked
At some point they're going to run out of people to kill - that's what happened in New Orleans.
The mayor had her priorities in order, though, and sent cops to shut down a church yesterday.
Shithole
Dear Comrade Joe !
All covid deaths.
That's because it's run by Democrats....
litobroda
omg
All counted as 'Covid-19' deaths by the liberal media
This is insane!!
Democrat gun laws at work...America's shooting gallery
Suns out Guns out
