Chicago: 53 Killed, 257 Wounded By Gun Violence In January Alone – American Military News: "Chicago gun violence has continued to soar in recent months as the number of shootings have hit record-breaking levels.
In 2016, the windy city saw 4,367 shootings with nearly 800 being fatal.
As the first month of 2017 came to a close, Chicago reported a total of 310 shooting victims with 53 of those being fatal.
Earlier this year, President Trump tweeted: “If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!”
Chicago’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel, said during an interview that the city would be open to federal help of some kind seeing as they have not been much assistance to the Illinois city for quite some time.
“Over the years the federal government’s stepped back their resources, which we have stepped up,” Emanuel said. “The federal government can be a partner, and to be honest they haven’t been for decades.”"
