#1 A decent total considering the weather has been cold.

#2 11 wounded and none killed? Chicago criminals have run out of accurate shooters? Dr. Steve et al are miraculously patching all of them up? The cold is freezing the blood before they can bleed out?

#3 I noticed a subtle "word swap" on the ABC Chicago 7 news last night. Ravi B. said 2 people were shot and killed and 11 were "injured", avoiding the double ungood word "shot" in his report, leaving it up to the viewers to figure out is a number of the "injured" had simply pulled their groins or something. Listen up in your local ABC "blue state" coverage to see if the memo has been sent to the writers to make the weekly shooters score a little less transparent.
