This news just broke my heart... multiple shootings in Chicago's West Garfield Park neighborhood are just senseless tragedies 
. How can people be so violent towards each other? 
It's always the innocent who get hurt, like that 26-year-old woman who was lucky to get stabilizing treatment 
. I hope the police can catch the person responsible and bring them to justice ASAP 
. This kind of violence is just too much for our community to handle, we need more support and resources for victims of gun violence 
. It's heartbreaking to think that a shooting like this could happen in a neighborhood that's supposed to be safe 
.
and 2 others were lucky enough to escape with non-life threatening injuries... my heart goes out to the families of the victim who passed away 
anyway, i know the police are investigating but when will we see some justice served?! 
it's just so frustrating that we're still living in a world where this kind of thing happens all too often...
. Another senseless tragedy in our city 
I mean, two 31-year-olds and a 26-year-old woman, all just trying to live their lives, and then... 
. And now the whole neighborhood is in shock 
so we can finally get some answers 
can't we do better than this? 4500 block of west 5th avenue sounds like a war zone... I'm not even sure why people still wanna live in chicago anymore 
this just makes me so sad for that family who lost their loved one. two young men and a woman, all with their whole lives ahead of them... it's just not fair 
.
. We just gotta keep talking about this stuff and hope that somehow, someway... things get better 
can't believe someone had to lose their life like that 
at least they were able to get medical help on time though, fingers crossed for the two others who are fighting for their lives 
hopefully they'll be okay 
but honestly this is just getting out of hand with all the gun violence in chicago 
. can't even imagine how scary it must've been 4 those people who witnessed it 
. hopefully they catch whoever did dis & bring 'em 2 justice 
. I mean, 3 people shot in the same spot at 3:45 am? Someone must've been doing some prep work beforehand, if you know what I mean 
it's like, what's going on with our society? where did we lose all sense of empathy and compassion for one another? 
anyway, my thoughts are with those affected... we should all be thinking about how we can make our communities safer for everyone
