Four in critical condition.
Twelve people, including a three-year-old, have been shot at a Chicago basketball court, according to reports.Full story
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the three-year-old was shot in the face.
A child and 10 adults were hit by gunfire in a park on the South Side of Chicago late Thursday night.

Very sad and tragic... but not surprised - came back from Chicago recently and was relieved when left, never seen so many cops and so little order, like a wild west. Feel for the people over there.

Chicago has more deaths from shootings than Iraq! Unfortunately people in the states who make the laws seem to think gun control is stupid. When will they learn

Chicago felt pretty safe to me, but aside from one restaurant and one bar, we didn't leave the central area when we were there. Obviously some areas rougher than others.
Try Detroit if you think Chicago is bad.
Have you seen some of the gun shows on Fox lately from America.
It looks like you can buy any gun you want and have it modified to work better. It is unbelievable.

very sad and my condolences to all involved.
and anon yes I have heard detroit can be unsavory - particularly since the car industry declined.
But we have been raised by television.

10-12 are normally good shooting stats, but not today.

Disgusting to hear such tragic events still occur, their legislators are too piss weak to stand up to Arms industry.
too many guns and barely any money on mental health.
It is estimated by ATF that there is well over 200 Million guns in circulation in the US! if they could only replace those guns with guitars, pianos or basketballs that country would be a lot safer.

Situation, I went to mark that as funny, but maybe this isn't the thread for it...

Detroit is safer than Chicago. Ever since the big ass moving of people from homes there the violence just blew up, and is easily the least safe city in the USA. Wonder if Oprah will do a special on her hometown now lol
