Five people were gunned down in Chicago yesterday, which included a man who was the son to a local woman who already lost 3 of her kids to gun violence.
The 34-year-old son, the youngest of Shirley Chamber’s children, was shot in the head while sitting in his car on the West Side of Chicago.
WLS-TV reported Shirley’s two other sons and daughter were shot in separate attacks more than a decade ago.

Shirley told ABC News:
“Right now, I’m totally lost because Ronnie was my only surviving son.
What did I do wrong? I was there for them. We didn’t have everything we wanted but we had what we needed.”
Chambers continued to express her grieve:
“They took my only child. I have nobody right now. That’s my only baby.”

After the gunman shot Ronnie Chambers, he then continued to shoot down 3 other men on the South Side, with two of them left dead and one critically injured.
The site reports:
Shirley Chambers’ first child, Carlos, was shot and killed by a high school classmate in 1995 after an argument. He was 18. Her daughter Latoya, then 15, and her other son Jerome were shot and killed within months of one another in 2000.
How many more young people have to become a statistic?
Our thoughts and prayers got out to Shirley Chamber.
