Here's a mass shooting that probably won't elicit calls for more gun control.

Blog: 13 shot at Chicago basketball court; 3 year old critical
I wonder if Obama or any of his flunkies will have anything to say about this mass shooting in Chicago? Will Sen. Feinstein go through the same spiel about gun control? Will they keep quiet because this is a black on black crime?

Here's a mass shooting that probably won't elicit calls for more gun control.

Thirteen people were shot - including a 3-year-old boy - Thursday night at a South Side park when two gunmen opened fire on a group gathered at a basketball court in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.
As bullets began to fly about 10:15 p.m., the group scattered, taking cover wherever they could at Cornell Square Park, police and witnesses said.
Julian Harris, 22, said his 3-year-old nephew, Deonta "Tay-man" Howard, was shot in the face.
Deonta was taken in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, according to Fire Media Affairs.
Harris said dreadlocked gunmen in a gray sedan fired at him at the corner of Wood and 51st before turning north on Wood and shooting up the park. According to other witnesses, two gunman got out of the car and began shooting.
Police said the shooting was gang-related, but they could not describe how the shooting occurred.
"They hit the light pole next to me but I ducked down and ran into the house," Harris said. "They've been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night - just gang-banging stuff. It's what they do."
The young boy's aunt, Lavada Hardeman, 18, said her brother, was killed on Labor Day.
"I can't catch a break," Hardeman said.
The 3-year-old's uncle, Jerome "J Money" Wood, a rapper who was affiliated with Def Jam artist Durk "Lil Durk" Banks, was shot in the head and died on Sept. 2 in the 6600 block of South Rhodes in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
Corey Brooks, pastor of New Beginnings Church on the South Side presided over Wood's funeral. He said he was called early Friday to again comfort the family at the hospital.
"They're frustrated, upset and hurt and disappointed that this is just happening over and over and over in our community," Brooks said.
The Washington Post has a later report that says 2 others besides the child were critically wounded.As bullets began to fly about 10:15 p.m., the group scattered, taking cover wherever they could at Cornell Square Park, police and witnesses said.
