ZitatCHICAGO — Chicago recorded its 300th homicide this weekend and tallied six others over a 60-hour period that saw 55 people shot, 13 fatally, from Friday afternoon through early Monday morning.
So far this year, close to 1,800 people have been shot across the city and more than 200 of those wounded have died from their wounds, according to records kept by the Chicago Tribune. A total of 306 people have been killed this year, by shooting, stabbing or other means.
I hate to become blasé in the face of such constant violence, home grown this time, but one has to wonder if this is even newsworthy any more.

The phrase "home grown" is jumping out at us now. It can't be proven that it's ISIS connected. No evidence of that. So it's "home grown". I guess we can dismiss the Orlando massacre then. It was home grown.
