DNC in Chicago: 13 shot, 1 dead in Windy City violence on day 3 as police contain chaos near convention site

The Chicago Police Department recorded nine shootings involving 12 victims, one of whom died on Wednesday, and a stabbing on the third day of the Democratic National Convention in the city. The violence comes as police have managed to mostly contain the chaos in and around the convention site. 

That compares to five shootings involving 12 victims with one fatality on Tuesday and eight shootings, four of which were fatal, on Monday. Over the weekend leading up to the convention in downtown Chicago, 26 shooting incidents involving 30 total victims, five who died, were recorded. 

"Our officers are out there. They're out there. They're highly visible. And we have officers not only along the corridors downtown, in and around the venues of the Democratic National Convention, but also in our neighborhoods to continue to protect our people who are living in areas that are the most vulnerable," Chicago Police Department Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a Monday press conference. "Our officers are protecting the entire city."
