Year to date there have been six fewer murders in 2021 compared to last year,\u201d the department crowed. \u201cThe number of shooting incidents this month dropped 13% over June 2020, as well as 41 fewer shooting victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As CWB noted, the statistics are somewhat misleading, given that June 2020 was a record breaking year for murders in the Windy City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJune 2020 recorded more murders than any other June in the history of the modern Chicago Police Department,\u201d the outlet said. \u201cAnd, after victims who are still clinging to life succumb to their wounds, last month will likely rank among the five worst Junes in history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to statistics CWB Chicago obtained from the Chicago Police Department directly, Chicago has not had this many murders since the early 1990s, when gang violence in the city was at a high.<\/p>\n<p>CPD\u2019s statistics on the number of murders also may be off. According to the Chicago Tribune\u2019s tracking site, there have been 294 homicides in the city is far this year \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/breaking\/ct-chicago-homicides-data-tracker-htmlstory.html\">21 more than at this point in 2020<\/a>. CPD only counts \u201cmurders,\u201d but it\u2019s not clear how they define the term, given that many suspects in June homicides are still at large, and the Cook County prosecutors\u2019 office may have yet to file charges in some cases where an incident resulted in an arrest.<\/p>\n<p>The release also touts a decline in carjackings since January, one of the highest months on record for carjackings in Chicago. Year over year, carjackings are actually up 7%.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of CPD\u2019s claims, hours later, seven people, including a one-month-old baby girl, were wounded in a mass shooting on the city\u2019s south side \u2014 the third such mass shooting in just under two weeks, and the 24th such mass shooting this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA 1-month-old girl and six other people were hit by gunfire in Englewood Thursday night when three gunmen jumped from a black Jeep Cherokee and began firing up and down the street,\u201d the Chicago Sun-Times reported. \u2018The attack came just days after two mass shootings killed two women and injured 15 other people in Chicago. At least 24 shootings across the city this year have wounded four or more people, according to a Sun-Times analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Englewood attack was captured on a video, which shows three gunman exiting an idling Jeep. The three men shot \u201cin several directions\u201d according to police, then jumped back into the vehicle and sped away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe baby was shot in the head and taken in critical condition to St. Bernard Hospital, then transferred to Comer Children\u2019s Hospital, according to police and a Chicago Fire Department spokesman,\u201d the Sun-Times noted, adding that, according to relatives, the baby\u2019s condition is improving.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
