Chicago Police released a recording of the sound of gunfire filling the night over the weekend in Democrat-controlled Chicago.

The recording was released by Chicago PD Chief Communications Officer Anthony Gugliemi. It captured the sound of gunfire shredding the night as one was killed and seven wounded in Lawndale.

CBS Chicago spoke to Lawndale resident Donna Blizzard about the 46 seconds of gunfire heard in the recording.

Blizzard lamented the decay of the neighborhood, saying, “The neighborhood was beautiful. I mean, could sleep outside on your porches if you want to. It was beautiful. Now you got to go and hide. Your kids can’t come outside and play. I’ve got grandkids. I don’t even let my kids out here.”

Breitbart News reported that a total of 53 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago. Seven of those victims died from their wounds.
