A memorial for a Chicago man shot dead earlier this year turned into a bloodbath early Sunday with at least 13 people getting shot, according to authorities. The house party just days before Christmas was to honor the birthday of Lonell Irvin, a 22-year-old man fatally shot during an attempted carjacking in April, sources told the Chicago Tribune. At least two gunmen are believed to have opened fire just after 12:30 a.m. with at least four victims—including a 16-year-old boy—left in critical condition, police said.(Snip) The shooting started inside following a dispute inside the South Side house

These folks thought they were going to a memorial service, but a hip-hop concert broke out instead.
Sad.

Chicago was safer when Al Capone was in charge.

Why isn't this being reported as a "mass shooting"? Is it because no one died or because of who the shooters and victims are?

Most gun violence in the United States is committed by young Black and Hispanic gang members in democrat controlled cities. This article cites an example of that acitvity.

The honor was fitting, I guess.

Those darn rowdy Amish at it again. Honoring a 'buggy jacker' who was shot attempting to steal a horse drawn buggy. Oh the horror in all this from these people. /s

Was the deceased a victim of gun violence or was he shot while trying to steal a car? There is a difference.

Take a look at Lonnell Irvin's Facebook page. The Prologue, the book and the Epilogue are all laid out nicely and neatly. No guesswork required.

I took an advanced emergency trauma care class this weekend. The instructor reports that military medical folks have been going to Chicago hospitals and working in the ERs to get gunshot wound experience before deploying overseas.
Fun place, Chicago.

So I can have a bacchanalian fest house party celebrating the birthday of some dead rocker and it's now considered a memorial. Got it.

The article is painfully lacking in detail about the shooters. Did they crash the event? Were they in possession of illegal weapons? Were they illegal aliens?

13 people shot at a party in memory of a carjacker. At least two shooters suspected. The only firearm recovered is a revolver (like THAT was the only gun there!). One of the 13 shot is being questioned as a possible shooter.
That's all the progress the police will make on this one, because the thugs involved hate cops and the justice system more than they hate one another.

I am hardly a math whiz, but it is mindboggling to think about the possible exponential growth in Chicago shootings, if a party is held for each of those shot
at the memorial service for the dead carjacker.
Mindboggling! 13 to the 9 mm power!

Hey Buttgig, Roberto O'Rourquez isn't here to take advantage of every MASS SHOOTING that comes along. You missed this one and Slow Joe, Tin Lizzie, and Weekend at Bernie's aren't touching it with a ten foot pole. Holes.

My sister who passed this year had two black men stand up at her funeral and proclaim "had it not been for Miss Eileen, we would probably be dead or in prison". She didn't have much and died before her time, but the impact she had on their lives was evident. Proud of my sister. Forgot to mention she was white.
