Overseas Network, February 13th According to a report by the NBC Chicago Channel on February 12, in the past week, Chicago once again experienced a “violent weekend”, which has caused 3 deaths and 15 injuries.

Chicago police said the first fatal shooting occurred in the early hours of the 11th. A 23-year-old man was shot in an alley, and the gunman fled the scene in a car. The man died at the scene after being shot multiple times. In the early hours of the 12th, two fatal shootings occurred within minutes in different areas of Chicago. In one incident at 1:42 a.m., a 32-year-old man was shot in the head by two suspects in his car and died. Eight minutes later, a 23-year-old man was found lying on the street, shot in the leg and chest and pronounced dead shortly after being taken to hospital. So far, no suspects have been arrested in any of the three shootings.

According to data released by the US “Gun Violence File” website, there were 52 mass shootings in the United States in January this year, resulting in 87 deaths, becoming the highest record for the same period since the agency began to collect such data in 2014. That month, there were only eight days without a mass shooting in the United States that resulted in at least four casualties. (Overseas Net Zhang Ni)
