Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago is gearing up for another weekend of violent crime as over 40 people have been shot and 6 killed so far over the Labor Day weekend.

According to NBC Chicago, the weekend kicked off with four men approaching a 15-year-old and then blasting 45 rounds at the boy with at least two striking the teen in the back. His condition is currently listed as critical. This happened at the 7900 block of South Crandon around midnight.

Several other shootings occurred throughout Saturday into Sunday morning.

Chicago has seen a dramatic rise in violent crime since 2020. The already crime ridden city experienced a 100 percent increase of fatal shootings between 2020 and 2021, to which Lori Lightfoot pushed for more public housing and holistic services as the solution. In 2021 more children died of gunshots than Covid.
