According to Fox News, at least eight teenagers were shot-one fatally-and several police officers were assaulted during a riot in the Chicago Loop area on Friday. Trump responded bluntly: &#8220;There is widespread crime and rioting in the Chicago Loop,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Multiple police officers have been attacked and seriously injured. Around 300 people are rioting, six victims have been shot, one critically injured, and one dead.&#8221; He criticized Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago&#8217;s mayor for refusing federal assistance that could quickly resolve the situation, adding that people are chanting &#8220;BRING IN TRUMP!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The unrest began around 10 p.m., reportedly linked to a &#8220;teen takeover&#8221; event promoted on social media that attracted youths from outside Chicago and led authorities to deploy an additional 700 officers downtown. City Alderman Brian Hopkins reported via social media about 300 juveniles rioting with multiple shootings-one victim critically wounded-and attacks on police using mace and stun guns.<\/p>\n<p>Fox affiliate WFLD-TV noted those shot ranged from ages 13 to 17; shortly afterward another shooting resulted in the death of a 14-year-old boy while an 18-year-old was seriously injured. Mayor Brandon Johnson condemned the violence, emphasizing that reckless actions by some individuals devastated families and made residents fearful to leave their homes downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson acknowledged thousands had gathered peacefully earlier but said such violent gatherings cannot be accepted or normalized as alternatives for youth activities.
