Over four days of terror from July 1–5, Chicago saw at least 81 people shot and 12 dead in a spree of gunfire, stabbings, arson, and a deadly crash.
There were five confirmed mass shootings — including the 18-shot, 4-dead Buckzz Massacre at Artis Restaurant and Lounge, 311 W. Chicago, on July 3 — and four other incidents where 4 or more victims were struck, including seven in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the Fourth of July.
The average age of victims across all reported shootings and stabbings was approximately 32 years old, underscoring how working-age adults bore the brunt of the violence.
From parked cars to crowded sidewalks, no corner of the city seemed spared during these four days of hell.
Even the area near Cook County Jail saw a mass shooting early on July 5.
These are preliminary numbers drawn from official police communications and scanner traffic. There may be errors, corrections and updates at a later time.
