At least seven people have been killed and 37 others injured in shootings in Chicago this Labor Day weekend, even as the city’s mayor vows to block President Donald Trump’s efforts to combat crime.
This weekend’s shootings took place at a series of unrelated incidents across Chicago, with the majority of instances resulting in no one being taken into custody, police say. Trump has suggested he may deploy the National Guard and other federal law enforcement to combat crime in the city.
The victims of fatal shootings so far this weekend include at least two women and three men, as well as two others police have not specified. Authorities have not released the names of the deceased.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order on Saturday prohibiting local police from working with their federal counterparts.
