Report: More than 3,100 people shot in Democrat-run, gun-controlled Chicago so far this year

CHICAGO, IL – It seems as though Chicago has a bit of a problem when it relates to people being shot within the city. Thus far, 2020 has seen over 3,100 people shot within the city. Specifically, there has been 3,132 shooting victims within the city this year.

Keep in mind that, as of publication, we’re 273 days into the year.

That’s more than 11 people shot per day.

Roughly a single person is shot just over every two hours within Chicago.

In a single, solitary city a person can become the victim of lethal-level violence by way of a gun every couple of hours – and that’s not even considering other forms of violence.

This also happens to be a Democrat run city courtesy of Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

This isn’t some hyperbole or a means to spin to conform to an agenda – these shootings are a verifiable fact and properly sourced. And it’s not just shootings that are on the rise, it’s also homicides.

For the entirety of 2019, Chicago had played host to under 500 homicides that year – and that data is coming from CNN.

Yet, just looking at the onset of 2020 up until September 28th, there’s bee a reported 576 homicides. And there’s still 3 months remaining this year.

So, not only are people in Chicago being shot every couple of hours within the city of Chicago, but the city has been seeing on average slightly over two murders occur every single day this year.

When looking at the weekend ending on September 27th, there were at least 49 people shot and 7 people killed.

The weekend ending on September 21st saw similar numbers, with 40 people being shot and 6 people killed.

Not to mention, the weekend prior to that saw at least 50 people being shot and 11 people being killed.

It’s almost as though Chicago has a serious problem with violence being embedded within the culture that resides within the city. And this is also one of the most heavily gun controlled areas – which the existence of the laws are supposed to quell this sort of crime.

We at Law Enforcement Today have reported heavily on the ongoing debacle that is Chicago. Here’s a recent report we’d ran when shootings within the city over the past weekend were still being tallied.

CHICAGO, IL- Chicago crime has ramped up, and the number shootings and murders are completely off the charts. 

From Friday, September 25th, to Sunday September 27th, there were at least 31 people shot, with five of them being fatal.

Two people were stabbed to death in just three short days. 

Mayor Lori Lightfoot has seriously lost control of her city, as it is the new wild west, and the number of people being shot and killed on the regular is disgraceful. 

Here are the details regarding some of the incidents, according to ABC7,:

-The first fatal shooting of the weekend left a 19-year-old man dead Friday night on the South Side. Cornelius Pulthus Jr. was walking in an alley with two other people in the Burnside neighborhood when someone opened fire and struck him in the chest and back, officials said. The shooting happened about 10 p.m. in the 9400 block of South Vernon Avenue, police said.

-Four people were killed Saturday: two in Austin on the West Side and two on the South Side. One person also was killed Friday night in the Burnside neighborhood on the South Side. They were all males between 17 and 42 years old.

-Saturday evening, a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot in West Pullman on the Far South Side. The boy was shot in the head about 9:20 p.m. in the 11600 block of South Prairie Avenue, police said. Omar Alvarado was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he later died, officials said. He lived in suburban Harvey.

-A 17-year-old boy was shot dead by two gunmen about 11:30 a.m. Saturday on the West Side. Avion Aldridge was in an alley in the 200 block of North Leamington Avenue when two gunmen opened fire, authorities said.

These shootings are just a few of the 31 that took place this weekend, and as we write this report, the number keeps climbing. In addition to the shootings, a five-year-old girl was fatally stabbed by her mother on Saturday. 

It is reported that Serenity Arrington was attacked by her mother, leaving her with “multiple stab wounds”. She was transported to the hospital, however, she was unable to survive her wounds. 

Her grandfather, Sylvester Washington, talked about how Arrington loved to watch movies with him.

He said:

“Y’all would have loved her. Sweet little girl. Man. Granddaddy’s little girl,”
