Chicago - Gun laws blamed for weekend killings


CHICAGO : Chicago's police chief has blamed guns laws after a string of shootings over the holiday weekend that killed at least nine and dozens injured.

Supt McCarthy said there was a "greater sanction" for gang members to have their gun taken away from them by their own gang than for being arrested.

There were dozens of shooting incidents over the long weekend in the city.

The Chicago Tribune called it the "greatest burst of gun violence Chicago has seen this year" and said the number of fatalities was actually as high as 14.
