Warm weather, 70 degrees or more, came to the Windy City this past weekend. 30 people shot across Chicago this weekend, a 50% increase from last year - CWB Chicago
Warm weekend weather helped drive a sharp year-over-year increase in shootings across Chicago, according to information released by the Chicago Police Department. While only one homicide was reported, 29 other people were wounded by gunfire, with victims ranging in age from 13 to 46.
The killed versus wounded ratio says more about the state of emergency medicine in Chicago than the marksmanship of the bad guys. Before a trauma center was opened on the south side, or re-opened, an ambulance ride to the north side trauma centers added considerable amount of time to reach a hospital for half of the city.
