#1 54 shot, 7 dead, in Chicago over Labor Day weekend
At least 54 people have been shot, seven fatally, across Chicago over Labor Day weekend, including a drive-by attack that left seven victims wounded, according to police.
The violent holiday weekend came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Trump on Saturday sent a warning to Pritzker in a post on his social media platform, referencing recent crime in Chicago and saying Pritzker "better straighten it out, FAST, or we're coming!"
At least 32 separate shootings occurred in Chicago between 10:32 p.m. Friday and noon on Monday, according to a review by ABC News of police incident reports published online.
The victims included a 17-year-old girl who was inside her home when a bullet came through a front window and hit her in the arm, a 31-year-old man who was shot in the leg after getting caught in the crossfire of gunmen shooting at each other from two vehicles, and two people who shot and injured while driving down a street, all according to the incident reports.
Fewer than five hours after Trump posted a message on social media on Saturday criticizing Pritzker's handling of crime in Chicago, a mass shooting occurred in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago's South Side that left seven people wounded.
"He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming!" Trump said in his post about Pritzker.
