The New York Times returns to Chicago’s 11th police district
When the New York Times tracked shootings in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, they noted that 16 of the 64 shootings happened in the city’s 11th police district, and three of those shootings happened along the same stretch of Walnut Street. The newspaper returned to the community to learn more about the gun violence tearing the neighborhood apart. “It’s about desperation, decadence, depression and rage,” the Reverend Marshall E. Hatch Sr. of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church told the Times. “It’s the concentration of all of that, all in one place.” [New York Times]
