Weekend of Gun Violence Leaves Multiple Dead and Injured in Midwest Cities.

Chicago experienced a wave of gun violence during the Juneteenth holiday weekend, with 75 people shot and 13 killed, according to preliminary data from the Chicago Police Department. The violence included a mass shooting in the southwest suburb of Willowbrook and a shooting incident near the Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he inherited "systems of failure" and that tackling crime requires more than just policing. The city has been struggling to deal with rising crime since the pandemic, with more than 800 people killed in 2021, the highest since the mid-1990s.
