A violent and deadly weekend in Chicago has caught the attention of President Donald Trump. Six people were killed and 39 people were shot in a series of shootings in the Windy City over the weekend.
Mass Drive-By Shooting
A mass drive-by shooting in Chicago’s Princeton Park neighborhood resulted in 13 people injured Friday night. Chicago police say an SUV drove up on a crowd of people and two suspects opened fire on multiple victims.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said, ‘I am heartbroken by the violence in Princeton Park last night. What should have been a night of celebration and community reflection for Juneteenth was shattered by a horrific act of violence. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.’
President Trump responded to the drive-by shooting incident, saying, ‘Lots of Killing going on in Chicago. Why isn’t Governor Pritzker calling me for help. I could make Chicago a safe City in ONE MONTH, in ONE YEAR, it would be one of the safest!!! D.C. went from one of the worst, to one of the safest cities in the U.S.’
