4 Dead, 21 Wounded in Weekend Violence. Four people were shot in two seperate shootings Sunday afternoon on the city's South Side as weekend gun violence leaves four men dead and at least 21 people injured across Chicago.
Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the Country but yet has the highest gun violence and is the city with the lowest prosecution rate on violent criminals. Many gang members consider Chicago to be a safe haven and have gained control of certain parts of the city, the police won't even respond to some areas without a full SWAT backup.
One police officer explained that the gang members are often put back on the streets before he can complete the arrest and booking paper work.
