Chicago began 2016 with an extreme amount of gun violence—over 100 people were shot in the first 10 days of the year. It appears now that 2016 is ending the same way it began.
Agence France-Presse is reporting that there were 27 shootings on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The Chicago Tribune says that 56 people were shot in total between Friday night and Monday night, and 11 were killed. Eight of the shootings had multiple victims, including one attack that killed five and injured two.
The weekend pushes the city’s homicide count for the year, which was over 630 after a spike around Halloween, to more than 750, the highest number in over 20 years. Last year, the total was 488.
