Chicago shootings: 64 shot, 11 fatally in weekend violence

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Weekends in Chicago have been plagued by violence this summer.

Chicago police said 64 people were shot, 11 fatally, between 6:00 p.m. Friday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday. That follows a deadly weekend over the 4th of July when 87 people were shot. The weekend before that, there were 63 shooting victims.

"I've been assessing and reassessing everything the Chicago Police Department has done," said CPD Supt. Daivd Brown. "Just imagine starting a new job and having to figure out historical violent crime in about 10 weeks."

Chicago Police Supt. David Brown spoke Monday morning after more than 60 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend.

Six teenagers were wounded in separate shootings between Friday and Monday morning, including 15-year-old Terrance Malden, who was fatally shot Friday in Jeffery Manor on the South Side.

Statistics from the department attest to the magnitude of the violence; every weekend for the past month there have been at least 63 people shot and at least 11 people killed.

"Is anybody satisfied early on, of course not, we've got to redouble our efforts every single Monday. It's not just the police department, but street intervention, community-based organizations," said Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

Last week, Chicago police announced the addition of dozens of officers to a new mobile patrol unit to better respond to hot spots while trying to build community relationships.

While that unit has not yet been deployed, Brown said Monday morning that reducing Chicago's violence is going to take more time and more than just policing.

"Police alone is not, and cannot, be the only solution for the gun violence faced by so many throughout Chicago," Brown said.

A long-time Woodlawn resident who, years ago, set up a community garden said his community remained peaceful this weekend in large part due to people being involved.

"You have a myriad of organizations working together, we know that this cannot be a police thing it takes the community. And that's one of the things that has made Woodlawn so successful is the collaboration," said Pastor Terrance Miller, Reach Within Spiritual Center.

The superintendent said he has seen a healthy appetite for cooperation and collaboration in Chicago, but both he and the mayor said reducing the violence is going to take time.

"But I think that the efforts We are doing both on the short term interventions, also on the longer term strategy is starting to see we're starting to see some difference," said Mayor Lightfoot.

Supt. Brown said police made 62 gun arrests in the last seven days, recovering 98 guns. In the first half of the year, Chicago police have recovered more than 5,100 guns.

Brown added there have also been 57 arrests for violent crimes in the last week.
