At least 74 people were shot in one of the most violent weekends of the year in Chicago, spurred by a 7-hour period early Sunday morning when 41 people were shot.

Between 3 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Monday morning, 12 people were killed and 62 were wounded, according to Tribune data. Their ages spanned from 11 to 62 years old, and most of those shot were attacked on the South and West sides.

The weekend shootings initially tallied 75, but Chicago police reclassified one shooting after the investigation indicated a woman was hit by debris, rather than gunfire.

The media has been pretty quiet about this mass shooting in Chicago over the weekend. I heard a lot about Alex Jones, Trump and the Manafort trial. Nothing from the MSM about how we need more gun control in this country after 74 people were shot in just one city over the weekend. Maybe because it doesn't fit the media's narrative. Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country but yet it still one of the highest murder rates out of all the other large US cities and the left's argument for more gun control just isn't that strong when you point out most of crime in this country happens in these democrat controlled cities.

The largest attack wounded eight people in the South Side’s Gresham neighborhood around 12:40 a.m. Monday, including a 14-year-old girl and two 17-year-old girls.

A bunch of kids were shot too. Where is David Hogg, is he going to cover this mass shooting of kids?

Naw, he has better things to do than talk about a bunch of black kids getting shot in Chicago like bash the NRA and Russia. I guess it doesn't pay to talk about poor black kids getting shot by other poor black kids when you're a social justice warrior like David Hogg.
