Dozens of people were shot and several victims are dead in the wake of a violent weekend in the Windy City.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said on Monday that a lot of the city’s violence “is driven by a gang culture of retaliation and revenge.”
CNN reported that according to Chicago Police Department spokesperson Kellie Bartoli, 55 individuals had been shot across 41 incidents during the period spanning from 6 p.m. Friday evening to 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.
In the five separate fatal shooting episodes there have been no individuals brought into custody, according to the police department.
