News from the progressive gun-free utopia that is Chicago.

The number of homicides so far this year in Chicago climbed past 100 over the weekend, the deadliest start to a year in the city in nearly two decades, according to statistics kept by the Police Department and the Tribune.

At least two people were killed and 24 were wounded between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. One of those killed was Shari Graham, a 30-year-old mother of three small children who was shot in the head Friday night as she sat in a cab about two blocks south of U.S. Cellular Field.

Graham was at least the 101st homicide in the city this year.
