SHOOTINGS

There hasn't been a single week in 2022 without a mass shooting, where four or more people are injured or killed, in the United States.

Residents living on the Westside near 103rd Street and Interstate 295 are frustrated following a string of recent shootings — one of which was deadly.

Two men involved with an anti-violence program co-founded by former Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan were shot Thursday afternoon in the Roseland neighborhood, officials said.One was shot dead while trying to turn his life around. The other, a security guard, was shot in the leg while coming to the man’s aid.

Loved ones of Tamiko Talbert-Fleming gathered with city and county officials at West 71st Street and South Artesian Avenue to demand justice for the 49-year-old hairstylist, who was fatally shot last Friday as she drove through that intersection on her way to work.

It wasn't clear what prompted the shootings or how they were linked.

There have been 203 shootings on expressways so far this year, exceeding those in all of 2020, when there were 128 such shootings.

The shooting death of a veteran Illinois State Police trooper on the Dan Ryan Expressway has been ruled a suicide, officials said Saturday.

As Labor Day weekend came to a close in Chicago, at least 66 people had been shot, six fatally, according to information provided by Chicago police.

Three separate shootings in Jacksonville in just over six hours left four people injured, police said.

Officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office were called to investigate two unrelated shootings that occurred Friday afternoon and evening in city neighborhoods.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability has announced it intends to release video evidence of this week’s shooting by Chicago police of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, deviating from a long-standing policy to withhold video of fatal police shootings of minors.

Mass shootings, which had become far less frequent in 2020, have come roaring back. The question we were asked repeatedly during 2020 was why mass shootings had dropped off so dramatically. But a key factor in why there were no mass shootings that met our definition for about a year, between March 2020 and March 2021, was the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the settings where mass shootings typically occur — workplaces, schools, churches, shopping centers — had either shut down or sharply reduced their capacity. This means that psychosis played some role in 30% of mass shootings, but no role 70% of the time.

Collective bargaining agreements for officers provide protections that stand in the way of accountability, even when the federal government is overseeing an agency through a consent decree, experts said. Contracts designed to ensure officers receive fair wages and benefits have spilled over into public policy. “These examples bolster the hypothesis that some union contract provisions may impede effective investigations of police misconduct and shield problematic officers from discipline,” Rushin said. The city entered into a settlement agreement, or consent decree, the following year and passed an accountability measure for additional oversight. One Seattle officer who benefited from the union contract in recent years was Cynthia Whitlach.

Now there is another, a still-growing American casualty list that has exceeded deaths from the Vietnam and Korean wars combined. Actual deaths from COVID-19 are almost certainly higher than the numbers show, an undercount to be corrected in time. It is well beyond what he told people to expect even as his public-health authorities started bracing the country in early April for at least 100,000 deaths. Unlike his emotional vice president, Joe Biden, Obama practiced his own kind of social distancing, to the point of aloofness. This, too, is not Trump's way.

Former Dallas Police Chief David Brown, left, speaks to reporters after Mayor Lori Lightfoot, right, nominated him to be Chicago's next police superintendent Thursday, April 2, 2020. The third was Ernest Cato, a deputy chief on the Chicago police force. The mayor said one of the things that most impressed her about Brown was that he implemented many reforms in Dallas that the Chicago department is now trying to introduce. During his tenure in Dallas, Brown took steps that were controversial among officers, including making use-of-force data public. In December, just days after Johnson announced his retirement and Lightfoot named Beck as the interim superintendent, the mayor abruptly fired Johnson.

(AP Photo/Baderkhan Ahmad)ISTANBUL – A car bomb exploded in a Turkey-controlled northern Syrian town on the border Saturday, killing at least three people, Turkey's Defense Ministry said. The ministry blamed Saturday’s car bomb attack on Syrian Kurdish fighters, the third such attack in Tal Abyad this month, leaving at least 24 people dead. On Saturday, the Observatory said the Syrian troops withdrew amid an advance by the Turkey-backed fighters, who have been seeking to capture the town for weeks. It was not clear if the Syrian troops had since withdrawn. The patrols are part of the Russian-brokered ceasefire to ensure the Kurdish fighters withdraw from the border area.

(AP Photo/Baderkhan Ahmad)ISTANBUL – A car bomb exploded in a northern Syrian town along the border with Turkey on Saturday killing 13 people, Turkey's Defense Ministry said. The ministry said about 20 others were wounded when the bomb exploded in central Tal Abyad, which was captured last month by Turkey-backed opposition gunmen from Kurdish-led fighters. The ministry blamed Syrian Kurdish fighters for the attack, saying it harshly condemns it and called on the international community to take a stance against this "cruel terror organization." Earlier on Saturday, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said Christian fighters will now oversee security in a northern Syrian region that has witnessed fighting between Turkey-backed troops and Kurdish-led militiamen. But the U.S. had partnered with the Syrian Kurdish fighters, their top allies in the war against the Islamic State group.
