After three mass shootings in under 24 hours, and with more than 20 people shot since Tuesday morning, activists are calling on Chicago officials to take more action ahead of the start of summer.
The latest shooting occurred in the city’s West Englewood neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon. At approximately 5:45 p.m., four people were traveling together in a car when they were shot by an unknown assailant.
Two of the victims, an 11-year-old boy and a 6-year-old boy, were taken to a local hospital in good condition.
Two other adults that were in the vehicle were also hospitalized in good condition, according to authorities.
“Children are not safe,” community activist Andrew Holmes said. “I mean, you’re in the car, the car gets sprayed. You’re walking, they’re shooting down the street.”
