What's really going on? Chicago has had yet another weekend of mayhem with 54 shootings. 54 shootings? Ten people were killed including four black males between the ages of 16 and 20, who were found naked, shot to death and lying face down on railroad property on the South Side. A baby girl suffered a graze wound to the neck on the West Side of Chicago. On Sunday, at least 11 people were injured in shootings, including a 16-year-old girl who was critically wounded in a melee of shots during a fight on a South Side street.
