Police and community must partner to stop violence
Another bloody weekend in Chicago has left 10 people dead among 70 shooting victims. This brings our grim 2021 totals to 450 people murdered with 2,500 people shot. The gun violence isn’t limited to Chicago, with more than 14,000 people killed through gun violence across the United States so far this year. How did we get here?
