Chicago Violence: 70 Shot, At Least 10 Killed As Highway Shootings Hit ‘All-Time High’

At least 70 people were shot and at least 10 people were killed as violence continued to spike in Chicago, Illinois over the weekend. The city also reached a grim watermark: Chicago-area highway shootings are now at an “all-time high,” according to Chicago’s CBS affiliate.

Chicago continues to be wracked by violence despite city officials’ efforts to curb what they believe to be the problem: the illicit gun trade that brings weapons to Chicago from places like Indiana, where gun control laws are weaker.
