The last 4 weekends...

8/08 47 (8 + 49)
8/15 52 (9 + 43)
8/22 54 (7 + 47)
8/29 67 (10 + 57)

And this one is 3 days... I might be very wrong on the under.

Pre-BLM

Add Milwaukee to the BLM hits parade. Deadliest month there is 25 years after, you guessed it, BLM riots.

Ferguson (STL). BLM protests, shooting deaths spike.
Baltimore. BLM protests, shooting deaths spike.
Chicago. BLM protests, shooting deaths spike.
Milwaukee. BLM protests, shooting deaths spike.

Dee, check Minneapolis....

To answer both questions, I use either the NBC affiliate in Chicago or the Chicago Tribune, whoever has the most recently updated story in the morning. Those are the 2 sites I use when I post the weekend shooting stories in the news section. I use the time frame that they use, which I believe is starting sometime this evening and runs thru early Tuesday morning.

An Islander was leaving Indiana to fly up to the island, I asked him to take a slight detour over Chicago and air drop a few thousand rounds of ammo into the war zone. The fix is in!

There was a HUGE uptick in shootings to close out the long weekend, just waiting for the Chicago Tribune to give me a combined total to make sure I'm not duplicating any of the shootings in the tally. It's going to be VERY close.

And the Chicago Tribune is also reporting the same stats as the other 2 sites, so it's officially official with 3 different sites all confirming the same number.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-violence-labor-day-tuesday-20160906-story.html

And a big thanks to the people of Chicago who made the effort to push it over the top in the final 21 hours with almost half the shooting occurring during that time :cheers:


Thirty-one of the 65 people shot over the long weekend were wounded between 6 a.m. Monday and 3 a.m. Tuesday. Nine of the fatal shootings occurred over that period.
