City leaders to push for gun violence prevention plan following a violent weekend in Chicago

Following another violent weekend in Chicago, city leaders will gather at City Hall on Monday morning to push Mayor Brandon Johnson's office to establish a Department of Gun Violence Prevention. At least 12 people were shot late Friday night on the Far South Side, near West 95th Street and South Wentworth Avenue in Roseland. Chicago police say two people inside a red SUV opened fire on a large crowd that had reportedly gathered to celebrate Juneteenth. Of the 12 people confirmed shot, police say eight were listed in fair condition, two were listed in good condition and two were listed in critical condition.
