芝加哥市区是全美谋杀案率最高的地区。
(CNN) -- A mass shooting at a Chicago park left a 3-year-old boy in critical
condition and returned the spotlight to gun violence in the city with the
nation's highest number of homicides.
The child was among 13 people shot in Cornell Square Park on the city's
South Side late Thursday night. None of the other victims was listed in
critical condition early Friday.
The shooting prompted Mayor Rahm Emanuel to cancel a trip to Washington.
"Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray
all that we stand for," the mayor's office said in a statement. "The
perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. I encourage everyone in the community to step
forward with any information and everyone in Chicago to continue their
individual efforts to build stronger communities where violence has no place
."
The January shooting death of another child, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton,
brought national attention to Chicago because the band majorette had
performed in Washington at events surrounding President Barack Obama's
inauguration in January.
The president invited Pendleton's parents to his State of the Union speech
in February. Obama mentioned her in that speech and a few days later when he
returned to Chicago, his hometown, for another speech in which he pressed
for stricter gun laws.
Police charged two men in Pendleton's death. They said the two were gang
members seeking revenge and mistook Pendleton for someone else.
Investigators believe Thursday night's shooting was also gang-related, said
Officer Ron Gaines of the Chicago Police Department. The 3-year-old victim
was shot in the ear, and the bullet exited through his mouth, he said.
The other victims included two 15-year-olds who were listed in stable
condition, Gaines said. The rest were adults ages 21 to 41. Four were in
serious condition. The conditions of the others were listed as stable or
good. One adult was treated at a hospital and released.
Video from CNN affiliate WLS-TV showed police had taped off an outdoor
basketball court at Cornell Square Park.
No suspects were in custody late Thursday.
The FBI's annual crime report this week showed Chicago had 500 homicides in
2012, up from 431 in 2011 and more than any other American city. Chicago
officials have said homicides this year are below the 2012 pace. | j*****7
