There are mass shootings in Chicago every week....this never gets headlines like these other mass shootings.

There's not though. Like Los Angeles or Detroit or NYC they are usually 1 or 2 people shot at the same time. Of course it happens far too often, and when multiple deaths happen we do hear about it, especially if you live in Chicago.

This year in Chicago there's never been more than 2 deaths in the same incident:

Gang violence is rather commonplace and happens every day. Someone shooting up a Walmart and killing 20 people doesn't.
