Shortly before midnight, 8 people traveling on a party bus were shot in Lincoln Park.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teenagers and young men were the primary victims in the west side shootings, which left the 14-year-old dead and a 16-year-old in grave condition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the first mass shooting Wednesday, two teenage boys and three men were at the corner of Douglas and Christiana when someone opened fire, police said. A 14-year-old boy was shot in the head and taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead,\u201d the Sun-Times noted. \u201cMinutes later, three teens and two other people were shot just blocks away outside Theodore Herzl Elementary School near Douglas Boulevard and Ridgeway Avenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the third shooting involving the party bus, which occurred just before midnight in Lincoln Park, someone in a&nbsp;Jeep Grand Cherokee pulled up alongside the vehicle and opened fire,\u201d Fox News reported. \u201cThe victims in the attack ranged in age from 23 to 52, and are currently in good to serious conditions at local hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nearly thirty people were wounded in shooting incidents across the city Wednesday, even as police claim they are putting greater emphasis on intercepting illegal gun trafficking they say is responsible for the spike in violence that has gripped the city for more than a year. Although the official counts, through the Chicago Tribune, are updated weekly, it appears Chicago has seen around 400 people shot and killed and 2,000 people shot and wounded.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the Chicago Police Superintendent announced that Chicago police would put together a gun trafficking task force tasked with rooting out illegal gun supply lines from states with more lenient gun laws than those in force in Chicago. The strategy is in line with the Biden administration\u2019s approach; President Joe Biden suggested that Chicago\u2019s crime was the result of unfettered access to illegal weapons, even though that problem appears to predate Chicago\u2019s current issues with violence.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
