9 Killed, 53 Wounded In Holiday Weekend Shootings
|
 [CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] Fourth of July weekend shootings left nine people dead -- including a 7-year-old boy -- and at least 53 others injured from Thursday evening to early Monday.
Seven-year-old Amari Brown was killed in a shooting that also left a 26-year-old woman maimed late Saturday in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.
Amari, who lived in the 500 block of North Drake, was taken to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
at 1:56 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Police said Sunday the bullet that fatally maimed 7-year-old Amari Brown on the Fourth of July was meant for his father. Both Amari and the 26-year-old woman were shot in the chest at 11:55 p.m. in the 1100 block of North Harding, police said.
The boy's father, Antonio Brown, is a ranking gang member with 45 previous arrests and was not cooperating with police as of Sunday afternoon as they tried to find his son's killer, reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Sunday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"It's crazy. Like who would shoot a 7-year-old? He got shot in the chest. Who would do that? To a baby?" Amari's grandmother, 52-year-old Vida Hailey asked as she waited for news outside Stroger. "All the kids that are getting killed out here -- it's crazy. When is it going to stop?"
The woman who was shot was also taken to Stroger, where her condition stabilized.
In the most recent fatal shooting, a 48-year-old man was killed in a Sunday afternoon shooting in the Calumet Heights neighborhood.
Anthony Strong was shot in the right side of his chest about 4:55 p.m. in the 9200 block of South Harper, police said.
Strong, who lived in the same block he was shot, was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
at 6:06 p.m., the medical examiner's office said.
Police said they were questioning a person of interest.
Earlier, two brothers from Missouri died Sunday morning after shots were fired at an SUV in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the South Side.
