This past weekend was a drill... a 'live fire exercise'. This weekend will be war.
Within 2 and 1/2 hours on Sunday, two people were killed and 17 were wounded in a pair of mass shootings in Chicago. A rash of shootings in Philadelphia since Friday left two people dead and 19 injured. And in New York City's Times Square, a tourist was hurt when he was hit by an errant bullet after a fight allegedly erupted between street vendors.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot expressed frustration on Monday over having to address another weekend of rampant shootings in her city despite police boosting patrols and taking more than 5,600 guns off the streets in the first six months of this year.
