Fifteen people were shot in a drive-by shooting in Chicago at a funeral for a victim of another drive-by shooting, Chicago Police said.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown that rival gang factions were repeating a cycle of violence and revenge.
"We can't keep meting out violence with violence," Brown said. "An eye for an eye makes us both blind. It's destroying our families and perpetuates this endless cycle of gunshot victims night after night."
Two of the people shot at the funeral are men "known to police," Chicago Police said. Both are in their 30s and are listed in serious condition, said CPD.
Of the injured, all of whom are adults, 14 were hospitalized. One person is in extremely critical condition and another is in critical condition, according to police. Police say the others who were injured in this shooting are expected to recover.
The oldest victim, a 65-year-old woman, was treated on scene and is in good condition, police said. There is a person of interest being questioned by police, CPD said.
The shooting is just the latest in a spate of gun violence in Chicago and in major cities across the United States in the past few months that coincide with the end of Covid-19-related lockdowns, mass protests against police violence and summertime, when crime annually increases.
#Chicago #CNN #News
Despicable!!! Absolutely horrible .. who shoots up a funeral .. there is a special place in hell for people that do these types of things ..
@Kay should white people just put supremacists as their last name and white as their first and maybe privileged as their middle and four their initials instead of W.P.S. they should put K.K.K. I’m just keeping it real cause all white people are racist, supremacist, and privileged. Instead of cops harassing us, it’ll just be black people with guns to make it equal.
@Леонид М What increased the violence?
This is ALL the Democrats fault. Trump gives people jobs. Democrats take the jobs away. CNN is swamp journalism.
President Trump to the rescue!!
@Todd Morningstar I agree with you about analysing both sides, however once you do the leftist always comes up short on facts and figures! Chicago in particular has been corrupt for 100 years mostly by the Democrats! They gain power from the unions first, then from the race baiting, clearly the Democrats have done nothing for black people in Chicago and only raped the white people for taxes!
So wait the parents of the 3 Year old little girl that got shot “won’t” cooperate with the police … Wtf ?? Why would you not want help finding the people that shot your child and could’ve killed her .. either they’re afraid of who did it or they’re not very smart ..
@Finn The Human Boy you white people are really out of touch. Obviously, they fear the thugs retribution if they cooperate. This ain’t Mayberry.
@Rabbit Skipper Ya to bad BLM and Antifa coerced Scumbag DemRats to stand down the police . Now what you gunna do ? No cop will stick his neck out now and I don’t blame them . All over one Scumbag George Floyd . Better arm up if you know what’s good for you . Good luck you’re gunna need it .
@xCRTN
They fear the mean racistst wites that run Chicago…oh wait
Mobsters. That’s why. 117 000 of them flourish in Chicago.
President Trump to the rescue!!
BLM Marxists will b BM’d down the toilet, and hood gangs will b banging iron bars!!!
Damn this sounds like prohibition days ! Violence everyday!! In Chicago smh
In Chicago, when they say *VICTIMS* are not “cooperating” with police, it means that the victims have no clue who assaulted them! That translates to the Chicago Puhleece that they are refusing to tell
Dude…when the hell are you gonna stop blaming the police for everything.
All Americans are victims of Guns but they don’t know, America is the only place in the world that had a number of school shootings even, mass shootings etc
@N Xarigow Look up the Dunblane massacre, pretty sure that was in Scotland
@N Xarigow were the only place in the world that tells a group of people to watch out for the boogeyman and that their life is predetermined. In reality no one cares how u look anymore, they care what you DO. But that doesn’t get u democrats votes
@Jorge of Albion what’s the problem exactly?
How about you talk to people that actually live around the violence but don’t participate in it! Quit talking to people that have no clue
Perhaps the fact that people who’s 3 year old daughter was shot refuse to help is indicative of why they don’t talk to people around there.
@jdnb86 perhaps shes more scared of helping the police. Dont you understand how gangs and intimidation work?.
west side!!!!
President Trump to the rescue!!
BLM Marxists will b BM’d down the toilet, and hood gangs will b banging iron bars!!!
“Why is this happening” CNN. #CriminalNewsNetwork
Facts!
I blame trump 😡
@Maureen Awty You blame Trump for problems in a 100% Democrat city?? No Republican cities have a big crime problem. Maybe you should blame the Democrats.
Maureen Awty you sure are blind
Rob Perry CNN don’t care, CNN is one of the reasons the murder rate has gone up in Chicago and NYC
This only happened 20 hours ago, thanks for finally getting around to reporting it.
It doesn’t go with their narrative that Chicago is a peaceful city.
9 minute video. Half of it about how horrible Trump is for wanting to stop it.
I heard a guy on the radio this morning he said the msm is busy trying to find a way to spin it they would have something by the afternoon. He was right
Fox reported this within hours and good on them.
I am shocked they reported it.
Lori Poopfoot is the most incompetent human.
I see how the oppressed only oppress themselves.
That describes 99.9% of Russians. The “Boss” is robbing them blind and moving billions into foreign banks and foreign investments each year. Putin is a greedy dictator. So is Trump, the moron Putin bought through Deutsche Bank’s “Buy Your Own Criminal President” loan program. (Not a good investment, Vlad!)
Insane. Mobsters killing each other.
Seems like these mayors want the power of their respective offices, but no accountability. Do your effing job and consider the masses and not the fringe.
You just described Donald Trump to a T.
Chicago MUST crush the gangs. That’s the only way to bring an end to the violence.
@Rabbit Skipper you have some severe emotional and psychological issues.
I live in the suburbs, the Walgreens and another store were apart of an armed robbery that I love bye
Let me guess this is trumps fault, it cannnnt be because its run by dems and a lady that wants to defund the police
@AMG BOYZ really because without them we would be knocked off the face of the earth by the middle eastern people
poor mayor is delusional. – crickets for prior eight years – this was Every weekend.
Obama could care less never did

@James Tea and you and your ilk are the authors.
These kids don’t have a father at home so they find one in the streets.
Truth
Chicago needs to do better on disbanding the “streets” , and not let their people get swayed into such ridiculous violence ,while ignoring the real issue and pointing at Trump.
BLM advocates no farthers and defund the police. Will it help?
I am all for people beating up groups like antifa in Portland ! When. Having a bad day I just YouTube antifa gets beat up 🥰
The city is in complete breakdown the mayor wants to defund the police . Can you imagine how it will be when that happens?
Whether u defund police or not still gon be the same.
U gotta start from the root..shut down all guns factories.
Create more good paying jobs in those communities.Put in place a lot
Of after school programs to keep the youth busy so they don’t wonder on the streets so often.
U will see a big difference
@Th B Really? So shut down gun factories? Then when organized crime ships them over which they already do all guns will be in the hands of criminals only oh and the fantastic government that people trust so much… Are you out of your mind? It’s not hard to clamp down on this all you need is mayor who gives a damn…
Where’s BLM at a time like this? Why don’t they protest the politicians that enact the policies that let gun violence continue in Chicago?
@popster 88 good job buddy. You’re doing great. Just hang in there.
@midas mixuk BREAKING NEWS- According to MSNBC an anonymous source says “Trump does nothing due to having dementia”.
@popster 88 midas was the source
President Trump to the rescue!!
BLM Marxists will b BM’d down the toilet, and hood gangs will b banging iron bars!!!
@Sean Dring good point, Illinois has particularly strict gun laws. So…. You know. Fewer good guys with guns. That’s how that works, genius.
I’ll tell you why this is happening, in Chicago, police are being told to stop enforcing the law.
I’m really confused, first off according to BLM and the left only cops kill and second Chicago has strict gun laws. So if the left is right why did this occur? 🤔
