With murder! 123 so far this summer. Is summer over yet?
CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That’s nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.
In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 123 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.
Now that looks like a community that needs some organizing. Barack, get back to the South Side and organize that place. Quit playing patty-cake with your styrofoam columns and get to work.
