Obama urges people to push stalled gun legislation
Sep 21,`13 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Days after mass shootings in both of his hometowns, President Barack Obama urged his most ardent supporters Saturday "to get back up and go back at it" and help push stalled legislation out of Congress so dangerous people won't get their hands on guns.

"We can't rest until all of our children can go to school or walk down the street free from the fear that they will be struck down by a stray bullet," Obama said in a keynote speech to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual awards dinner. Legislation calling for expanded background checks failed to clear the Senate earlier this year despite a strong push by Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, people whose loved ones had been killed by gunfire and other gun-control advocates.

The bill was part of a package of measures Obama promised to put the full weight of his office behind after 20 first-graders and six educators were killed last December in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Republicans and some Democrats voted against the measure. Obama used the occasion of his keynote speech to make his first public comments about this week's pair of shootings. Just two days ago in his other hometown of Chicago, 13 people out watching a game of pickup basketball at a neighborhood park were wounded by gunfire, including a 3-year-old boy.

This past Monday in Washington, 12 people were slain by a gunman who later was killed by police. Obama was preparing to speak Sunday evening at a memorial service in Washington for victims of that shooting. "Tomorrow night I'll be meeting in mourning with families in this city who now know the same unspeakable grief of families in Newtown and Aurora and Tucson and Chicago and New Orleans and all across the country, people whose loved ones were torn from them without headlines sometimes or public outcry," Obama said. "But it's happening every single day," he said. "We fought a good fight earlier this year, but we came up short and that means we've got to get back up and go back at it because as long as there are those who fight to make it as easy as possible for dangerous people to get their hands on a gun, then we've got to work as hard as possible for the sake of our children. We've got to be ones who are willing to do more work to make it harder."

The White House said after Monday's shooting that Obama is using his executive authority to tighten access to guns and remains committed to strengthening gun laws, including requiring background checks for sales online and at gun shows. The dinner celebrated the "Spirit of 1963," including the civil rights movement and the March on Washington for Jobs and Justice led 50 years ago at the Lincoln Memorial by Martin Luther King Jr. The annual event also celebrated the advances the movement brought about for black Americans, including voting rights, desegregation and Obama's election in 2008 as America's first black president.

Three killed, 23 wounded in latest Chicago shootings
September 20, 2013 ~ 12 adults and child shot in South Side park; Three fatalities and 10 wounded in other shootings; Wounded include 3-year-old boy, two teens; Latest round of shootings perplexing city officials.

Three people were killed and 23 wounded in the latest spate of violence to hit Chicago. The wounded include 3-year-old Deonta "Tay-man" Howard, and two teens, among 13 people shot in an apparent gang-related attack in Chicago's South Side Cornell Square Park. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said an assault-style rifle with a high-capacity magazine was used in the shootings. "They almost shot his whole face off,' McCarthy said, noting it was a "miracle" that no one had died in the attacks. Others in the violence-plagued city weren't so lucky. At least 10 others were shot in other incidents late Thursday and early Friday. Three were murdered, including Johnny Tinsey, 36, Rubin Austin, 25, and an unidentified 29-year-old woman.

Howard's grandmother, Semehca Nunn, said his condition had stabilized Friday after he underwent surgery. The bullet entered the boy's ear and exited through his mouth. Deonta's uncle was shot to death just two weeks ago. None of the other victims shot in the park suffered life threatening injuries, police said. A witness to the Cornell Square Park shootings, Julian Harris, told the Chicago Sun-Times that dreadlocked men fired at him from a gray sedan before firing at others. "They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house," said Harris,22, Howard's uncle. "They've been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It's what they do."

A police officer guards a home where a man was shot in the chest in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on Sept. 20 in Chicago. Thirteen people were wounded. Two are in critical condition while others were reported in serious to fair condition.

Police say the park shootings stem from an on-going dispute between the Gangster Disciples and the Black P Stone Nation gang. Chicago Alderman Willie Cochran told the Chicago Sun-Times that police have talked to several people but had made no arrests. "Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray all that we stand for," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Friday. "The perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I encourage everyone in the community to step forward with any information and everyone in Chicago to continue their individual efforts to build stronger communities where violence has no place."

Three weeks ago an outbreak of violence during the Labor Day weekend left eight people dead and 20 injured. The Chicago police department responded by paying overtime to add patrols to some neighborhoods, including the Back of the Yards, where Thursday's shooting took place. Crime statistics released this week by the FBI showed that Chicago, with 500 murders in 2012, replaced New York, with 419, as the murder capital of the U.S. Year-to-date, Chicago murders are actually down 22% from 2012. Police say there have been 305 killings, vs. 389 at this point in 2012.
