Mayor Brandon Johnson commented on Saturday’s gun violence — which included a man killed and two others wounded in a Bronzeville shooting — by saying his office is in touch with police as they work to hold those responsible accountable. “Through last night’s shootings, we are reminded of the devastating impact of gun violence,” Johnson said on social media. “We remain steadfast in our work to break these cycles of trauma by continuing to stop the flow of guns into our communities and investing in the resources that help prevent violence before it occurs.” A $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case is being offered by Cook County Crime Stoppers. An adjacent family celebration was also disrupted by the shooting.
