Is anyone shocked? 7 hospitalized after mass shooting in Back of the Yards neighborhood, police say - CBS Chicago
Seven people were hospitalized following another mass shooting Friday night in Chicago, this time on the city's Southwest Side.
Two men walked up to a group of people and opened fire.
Back of the Yards is not one of the 77 official neighborhoods in Chicago, but is part of New City. It is named for the fact that the it was adjacent to the Union Stock Yard and other meat packing plants that formed the largest concentration of meatpacking in the country in the 1950s.
If you have ever read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, it was set in Back of the Yards. It is about a 7 mile drive south, and a bit west of The Loop.

The media don’t offer descriptions of the suspects, so I’m just going to guess they were Trump supporters wearing red “MAGA” caps.
Or maybe not.
