Dwyane Wade's Nephew Shot In Chicago: 13 Wounded, 2 Dead In One Night


CHICAGO -- A nephew of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade was one of 13 men shot ? two fatally ? during a violent six-hour stretch in Chicago, another indication that violence is on the rise in the nation's third-largest city.

Wade's nephew was one of six males shot at a store on Chicago's South Side at about 6 p.m. Thursday by hooded men who police said fled the scene in an SUV.

The news of the shooting involving Wade's nephew comes one week after the eight-time NBA All-Star was among the Heat players who spoke out about the shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. A neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot the 17-year-old, although no arrest has been made because the volunteer has claimed self-defense.

The shootings are part of a larger uptick in violence across the city this year. From Jan. 1 to March 29 of this year, there were 474 shootings, 101 of them fatal, according to the Chicago Police Department.

They must have an extraordinary amount of very active neighborhood watch volunteer's in Chicago. I question how there could be so many shootings as we all know you can not carry a gun there?

Unhappy

Awful.

Me too Teddy. Quite a few big cities on my avoid at all cost list.

Isn't this Bobby Rush's district? The old Black Panther who was escorted off the House floor for giving a speech wearing his hoodie? I think some of this happened the next day.

It's going to be a hot summer & more's the pity.

As we can all see - gun control is working perfectly in Chicago.
