Three killed in blue-city shootings as Trump threatens to expand federal crime crackdown

Three people were shot to death in separate shootings in Chicago overnight, marking the latest string of violence in the Democratic-led city. 

According to FOX 32, the initial incident took place shortly after 10 p.m., when a person confronted two 38-year-old men who were outside and started firing at them.

Both men were shot in the side and were transported to local hospitals, where they died from their injuries.

“We’re going to make it safe, and we’re going to then go on to other places, but we’re going to stay here for a while,” Trump said. “We want to make this absolutely perfect.” 

The Chicago Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
