Crime is Down

But it was certainly a bad Sunday morning:

• At least 18 people have been shot over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago.

  No one has died from the shootings since Saturday and most of the victims — the youngest of whom was 14 — are in stable condition, according to Chicago police. The majority of the violence happened in a two-hour stretch from 1:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

The number has since climbed to 20 wounded and the lone fatality was Friday afternoon. 

But it's still far below the historical weekend averages of the past eleven years (9 dead, 42 maimed) per HeyJackass.com.
