Throughout the city over the weekend, at least 15 others were wounded by gunfire. One woman injured at the party, grazed by a bullet on her right shin, declined medical treatment but said this to the Chicago Tribune:
“I’m just blessed that that all I got.” Saying further, “I’m happy that that was it. I’ve been through a few times at parties and places where someone is just shooting crazy like that. You can’t live your life afraid all the time. I don’t want to be like, I’m not going anywhere. Everywhere you go it’s always going to be something.“
So why did the shooting occur. MTO News was able to piece together a story – from local reports. Witnesses claim that members of a rival gang pushed their way into the party and started shooting haphazardly.
Chicago is currently one of the most dangerous cities in the world, according to recent FBI statistics.
