Chicago experienced a nearly 20-year record number of murders in 2016, prompting President Donald Trump to regularly single out the city for criticism
Forty-four people were shot across the Midwestern US city of Chicago Sunday, US media reported, with five killed in a wave of violence police branded “totally unacceptable.”
Chicago Police chief of patrol Fred Waller told a press conference Sunday afternoon some of the shootings were “targeted” and related to gang conflicts.
