Savage Chicago: More than 1,000 people shot. In just six months.

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Six months into the year, more than 1,000 people have been wounded or killed by gunfire in Chicago. And this is an improvement. For more than a year, the Tribune has kept track of every shooting victim in Chicago and built a unique database. Tribune reporters and photographers have covered scores of those shootings, often arriving while victims are still on the scene, sometimes talking, sometimes covered by a sheet.

If MSNBC really carried about the Obama coalition in Chicago: they'd report more on this story.
