Ten Shot in 007 Overnight?

As of this moment, we can only find reports on 7. But it's early, the media hasn't woken up yet and the spin machine at 35th Street isn't up to speed:

• Six people were wounded near 66th Street and Marshfield Avenue on the South Side this morning in two separate shootings, one after police arrived to investigate the first incident.
  
  About 1½ hours earlier two blocks away, another shooting claimed the life of a 30-year-old man, but police said they had no reason to believe that was connected to the later shootings.
  
  At the Marshfield site, "we (initially) treated four victims, all in serious to critical conditions," said Larry Langford, a spokesman for the Fire Department. One of the men was shot multiple times. But once we began to stand down and pull out, someone drove near where police were situated and began shooting. Two other people were shot in that incident."

So even at crime scenes where the police are known to be responding or already at, the criminals are returning and firing more shots at targets of opportunity. This is insane. We lost an officer this way once already. The only explanation that comes to mind is that the gangs know we don't have the manpower to secure a scene or multiple scenes and effectively patrol the area thereafter. And when the gangs know we're shorthanded, they're going to take full advantage of the situation.

That they are already doing it doesn't bode well for the summer.
