The Streak Ends

Evidently, we had been on a run of almost four days without a homicide.

That isn't to say there wasn't mayhem - we've been building up to it for a day or so:

• 15 shot in the last 24 hours
  1 each in 005, 006, 015, 019, 024, 025
  2 in 004
  3 in 007
  4 in 009

The south side finally broke though with a number of shootings, but only one dead:

• A man was killed and at least four others were wounded, including two teens this evening, in shootings on the city's South Side, officials said.

  [...] An hour earlier, a man was killed and another man was wounded in a shooting in the Washington Park neighborhood, authorities said.

September seems to be running about average with just over a killing a day. Anyone have the year-to-year comparison and year-to-date totals? The Tribune let slip again that shootings are UP over 160 year-to-date. Why Rahm keeps letting them publish that number we have no idea. We thought he had a lock-down on that shit.
