This past weekend, Chicago saw another "bloody weekend," with multiple mass shootings in the 72 hours from Friday to Sunday, with 64 people shot and 10 dead.
Unfortunately, a policewoman who had just taken maternity leave was shot and killed during a police trip, leaving her 2-month-old child behind.
According to Chicago police, the woman, Ella French, 29, gave birth to a daughter two months ago and returned to work just after maternity leave, but was shot dead around 9 p.m. on Saturday when she stopped a car.
Chicago Police Department Executive Superintendent Eric Carter said at a news conference earlier Sunday that after a vehicle carrying two men and a woman was stopped by police at 9 p.m. on Saturday, someone inside the car shot at police, and Frankie had no time to dodge the shot, and another officer then returned fire, one of whom was shot.
Reinforcements arrived and all three suspects were arrested, though they had not yet released their identities.
"Frankie, who joined the Force in 2018, is a member of the Community Safety Group, a citywide unit formed last summer under the leadership of Police Commissioner David Brown to tackle crime hotspots," Carter said.
At a news conference Sunday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot urged Chicagoans to end the spat with the police, "Stop, stop, this ongoing conflict is not what we want at this moment." The police are not our enemies, Lightfoot said, and we must unite against our common enemies — guns and gangs.

Two nightclubs had a firefight
In addition to the case of Frankie's killing, there were mass shootings in Chicago between Friday and Sunday, with 64 people shot and 10 dead, 47 of which occurred within 24 hours of Saturday night.
The bloody shootings included at least two mass shootings in nightclubs and one case of suicide after murder.
On Saturday night, at a nightclub near Gresham, Chicago, a 24-year-old gunman opened fire on a 37-year-old man. It is understood that the two had two quarrels, the gunman shot the 37-year-old man from the back execution, and the accomplice of the slain man then shot back, the gunman shot 8 bullets, but miraculously did not die. In addition, the shooting also caused 5 other people to be injured by stray bullets.
In another nightclub shooting, a man tried to enter the nightclub, but was refused by two security guards, who retaliated by firing at the security guards, who also returned fire without showing weakness, hitting three people outside the house.
