Four people were shot to death on Monday alone across Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) troubled Chicago.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports Monday’s first fatal shooting was discovered at 12:50 a.m. when a deceased man with a gunshot wound was found in a car “in the 1500 block of East 62nd Street.”
Roughly an hour later a 53-year-old man crashed “in the 6800 block of South Western Avenue” and was shot in the chest. He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead.
At 5 a.m. Monday a 25-year-old was walking to his car “in the 10700 block of South Bensley Avenue” when someone in a Mercedes opened fire, fatally wounding him.
A 66-year-old convenience store clerk was shot to death during an attempted robbery Monday night.
CWB Chicago notes, “The robber entered J&K Food and Liquors, 6320 North Western, around 9:50 p.m. and demanded money. He then shot the 66-year-old male employee in the chest. But the cashier had a gun of his own and returned fire.”
The employee was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Breitbart News observes that 36 people were shot over the weekend in Lightfoot’s Chicago, at least five of them fatally.
