Oddly it's not on national news, wonder why?

CHICAGO (CBS) – Thirteen people, including a 3-year-old boy, were shot at an outdoor basketball court in the Back of the Yards neighborhood overnight. CBS 2’s Courtney Gousman reports the victims were taken to six different hospitals after they were shot around 10:15 p.m. at Cornell Square Park, near 51st and Wood streets. Dozens of police officers swarmed the park after the shooting.As of late Friday morning, no one was in custody for the shooting. Although witnesses said there were two shooters involved, McCarthy said detectives have not confirmed how many gunmen opened fire. He said there could have been anywhere from one to three people who fired shots.

McCarthy said police were talking to several witnesses to try to piece together exactly what happened, but he said ballistic evidence and other information gathered at the scene. “A lot of people in the city of Chicago have been desensitized towards the violence, and because of that, we’re really lax as far as it relates to trying to do something about it,” he said. WBBM Newsradio’s Bernie Tafoya reports witnesses said two men in a gray car shot at them at the corner of 51st and Wood, then pulled up to the basketball court, got out, and began spraying bullets into the crowd.

What no description of the shooters?

You guys starting to notice a trend? All these shootings are taking place in cities where gun laws have allowed the bad guys to be the only ones armed.

News reports say that shootings in Chicago are down this year compared to last year........I guess that's because 3 yr. olds can't shot back !

Chicago has very strict gun laws, as does DC.

The real problems are enormous out of wedlock birth rates, which contribute to poverty and poor education.

Then, of course, kids listen to rap and play violent video games.

Obama had a wonderful opportunity to help blacks, but he has not done so because he doesn't need to. They voted for him twice already.
