Over the weekend, cities across the United States experienced a surge in gun violence, with incidents reported in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Whittier. In Chicago, police reported a total of 18 people shot, one fatally, in various incidents, including an argument on the city's Southwest Side that left five injured, one critically, and another altercation in Little Village where 6 people were shot. Philadelphia saw a spate of violence within a 90-minute span early Sunday, including a fatal shooting in South Philadelphia, another shooting in East Germantown, and gunfire at a North Philly party that injured three. Whittier, California, reported a particularly grim incident where three men were found shot in a trailer, two of whom were pronounced dead.
