109 people shot, 19 k!lled during violent Fourth of July weekend in Chicago

More than a hundred people in Chicago were shot, 19 fatally, during a holiday weekend marred by an eye-popping eruption of violence — as the city’s mayor called to punish those who make a “choice to k!ll” and said there “will be consequences” for the gunmen

The shootings — which began in earnest on the Fourth of July and claimed the lives of several kids — have stunned a city that had previously seen both homicides and nonfatal shootings drop compared to last year, according to the Chicago Tribune.

One of the shootings — a daytime assault in Greater Grand Crossing on Thursday — left a woman, her niece and her 8-year-old son d3ad after bullets tore through the windows of their South Side home, NBC 5 said.

On Monday, Mayor Brandon Johnson said his administration wants federal money to address the root causes of the violence that’s torn the Windy City’s neighborhoods asunder.

But he also demanded punishment for those who have made the “choice to k!ll,” the Tribune said.
