11 Shot Thursday Alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago

Eleven people were shot, one of them fatally, Thursday alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) violence-wracked Chicago.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported the one fatality was an 18-year-old shot during a carjacking around 2 p.m. The incident occurred “in the 900 block of East 98th Street” and the 18-year-old was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

One of the other ten shooting victims was a one-year-old boy who was shot in the head while in a car at gas station just before 1:30 p.m. The one-year-old’s wound was non-life-threatening.

Breitbart News noted nearly 50 people were shot in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago during the most recent weekend, and nine of the shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.

It is a story that has been repeated time and again throughout 2021.
