Chicago saw an incredibly violent holiday weekend as July Fourth saw around 88 people shot, including over a dozen killed in crimes across the city. Police reported dozens of incidents from Friday through Sunday, with victims ranging in age from 12 to 30. Chicago Alderman Anthony Napolitano called the city a „war zone“ and slammed local leaders for the increase in crime. The Chicago Police Department (CPD) tweeted photos of guns confiscated during Sunday’s celebrations: The cache included shotguns and rifles along with a number of pistols. Reports on the total number of incidents ranged wildly from 37 to 88, but the fact remains that dozens of people were shot, with at least five children among the victims.
