CHICAGO — Following a weekend where at least 46 people were shot, nine of them fatally, Mayor Rahm Emanuel addressed the recent uptick of gun violence in Chicago.
At an unrelated press conference Monday, Emanuel said that the bulk of the shootings over the weekend were “isolated” in the city’s Gresham police district and that “a lot of people did enjoy this city this week,” the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
“What happened in the 6th District in Grand Crossing is not reflective of the whole city,” the mayor said. Emanuel next called on a police crackdown in the district similar to a strategy the city’s police department instituted in the Englewood and Harrison districts, two areas on the city’s South and West sides.
