Chicago's Gun Violence Is Continuing To Grow

Daily gun violence in Chicago is continuing to grow.
From January to February today their has been over 370 shootings and 70 killings. From Monday to Tuesday at least 5 people have been shot. The week before that about six people were shot and killed and fourteen people were wounded. It seems as if the violence of 2016 will double the violence of 2015 according to the Chicago tribune. Chicago's violence hasn't been this server since 2012.

In 2015 there were about 470 homicides and more that 2,900 people shot. Chicago is now ranked with the most homicides since 2015.
Violence has increased since the shootings of police towards black people. Such as Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times.




When will we get the message in our head that violence is out of control and its not going to get any better if we don't start by controlling ourselves. If we continue to do what we do it won't get any better. It's time for change!!
