Vambo Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2019/7/5/20682938/fourth-july-holiday-weekend-shooting-gun-violence Five people were killed and 63 others wounded in shootings across Chicago over the long Fourth of July holiday weekend. Chicago police Supt. Eddie Johnson plans a news conference Monday to discuss the violence. More than 1,500 police officers were scheduled to work extra hours to stem the violence that seems to repeat every July Fourth in Chicago, but shootings on Independence Day left two dead and 14 wounded. On Friday, three were killed and 17 wounded. Saturday saw 15 people shot. Seventeen people were wounded on Sunday. There were no reported shootings Monday before 5 a.m. At the Navy Pier fireworks display, a major city holiday celebration ended in chaos as three people were stabbed and more than a dozen others were trampled in a subsequent stampede. In fatal gun violence, a man was killed and another wounded Friday evening in Austin on the West Side. They were standing on a sidewalk in the 300 block of North Laramie Avenue at 7 p.m. when two males approached on foot and fired shots, Chicago police said. The shooters left in a gray car. Tory Terry, 40, was shot in the abdomen and taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. A 65-year-old man was shot in his face, arm and back of the head, authorities said. He was taken in critical condition to the same hospital. Before dawn Friday, two people were killed in separate incidents within minutes of each other. About 2:55 a.m., a 22-year-old woman was on the street in the 4200 block of South Wells Street in Fuller Park when a male approached her and shot her in the head, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
