Rooftop Revelations: Cruelest part of South Side Chicago violence is its senselessness, pastor says
Fox News
On day 31 of his 100 days on a Chicago rooftop, Pastor Corey Brooks spoke about the senselessness of crimes being committed in the South Side and the high toll they leave.
"This morning I woke up to a Sun-Times article, and it was a photo of a coffin and some horrific numbers," the pastor said. "I know people in these numbers, and they were not just numbers to me. Chicago has lost 57 school-aged children to gun violence this year. Can you believe that 16 of them were in elementary or middle school?"
The pastor continued: "In 2020, 49 kids were killed, 12 of them before they reached high school … Then there are these kids who are injured in shootings but survived."
