The fatal shootings include one man who was fatally shot and two others who were wounded by police in two separate incidents this weekend…. Continue reading →

So far this month, the number of homicides has surpassed an average of one per day.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy found some consolation in that statistic on Saturday.

“The fact is, we’re doing better than we were doing before,” McCarthy said, after a press conference highlighting a citywide youth anti-violence campaign that recently ended.

9 hurt in shootings across the city

Officer, 15-year-old boy wounded in shoot-out

Teen shot dead in front of mom at South Side laundromat

7 wounded in shootings, including 2 near United Center and 1 downtown
