Dozens Wounded In Four Weekend Mass Shootings Across Four Cities As Police Chiefs Brace For ‘Bloody Summer’

Nearly 40 people were wounded in a series of mass shootings across four cities — Chicago, Illinois; Austin, Texas; Cleveland, Ohio; and Savannah, Georgia — in less than a six-hour window of time over the weekend as cities scramble to face what CNN has termed an “unrelenting surge in gun violence and murder” head-on ahead of a “bloody summer.”

Savannah Police Chief Roy Minter, Jr. “says a driver rolled up late Friday and opened fire in a ‘disturbing and senseless’ attack possibly linked to an ongoing dispute between two groups,” according to USA Today. “Two people were in critical condition, and the wounded included an 18-month old child. More than 60 rounds were fired. Minter said there had been reports of gunshots being fired at the same apartment complex earlier in the week.”
