After a long Fourth of July weekend that featured a visit from the president, the first ever NASCAR street race and historic storms, the leaders of Chicago’s emergency response agencies gathered Wednesday to praise the efforts of first responders.
Residents look over fire damage to multiple garages and homes linked to fireworks at 64th Place and Menard Avenue in Chicago on July 5, 2023.
“Every instance required advanced coordination and collaboration and I could not be more proud of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department,” interim police Superintendent Fred Waller said Wednesday.But still, the holiday weekend maintained its reputation for violence as eight people were killed and another 57 were wounded in nonfatal shootings across the city between Friday evening and Tuesday night, according to police statistics.
Waller’s “up until” comment was in reference to a mass shooting that occurred in Englewood early Wednesday. Around 4:47 a.m., five people were shot outside in the 5600 block of South Ada Street, according to police. One victim, a 35-year-old man, was pronounced dead at University of Chicago Medical Center.
