Among the other innocent people caught in crossfire have been young children playing outside and a father paying bills at his kitchen table.Wades cousin, Nykea Aldridge, who was shot Friday while pushing her baby in a stroller near a school, was one of nearly 20 people shot between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, police said. Three others were killed.Heres a look at whats happening in Chicago:---HOMICIDES UPThere were 441 homicides in the city between the start of the year and Aug. 21, a nearly 50 percent increase over the same period last year, police said. Thats also more than 80 percent higher than at the same point in 2014, when the city ended the year with just over 400 homicides -- the least in a half-century.Other cities, such as Los Angeles and Memphis, Tennessee, also have seen homicides rise, according to a midyear survey by the Major Cities Chiefs Association. But experts say it isnt enough to suggest a trend, noting numbers are down elsewhere, such as Oakland, California, and Miami.---SHOOTINGS SOARMuch of the increase in Chicago homicides is related to more shootings, which have been climbing since 2013 but have spiked this year to 2,228 as of Aug. 21.Thats 48 percent more than in the same timeframe last year, and easily surpasses the total recorded in all of 2014, when there were 2,084.---BUT WHY?There isnt a clear cause.Chicago police and Mayor Rahm Emanuel frequently point to gang violence and the easy availability of guns. The city once had some oof the nations strictest gun-control laws, but many are no longer on the books.dddddddddddd. Last year, the police department said it confiscated nearly 7,000 illegal guns.Others point to a loss of trust between police and the community, a long-standing problem that grew worse after Chicago police released a squad-car video in November that showed a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager 16 times. The video of Laquan McDonalds death set off weeks of protests.Many of the neighborhoods on the citys South and West sides where the violence is concentrated struggle with gang membership and high unemployment and poverty rates.---INNOCENT BYSTANDERSPolice said Aldridge, a 32-year-old mother of four, was going to register her kids for school Friday when two men walked up and shot at a third man, hitting her in the head and arm.She is among the many innocent people who have been hit by stray gunfire, including a growing number of young children.In the first six months of the year, 15 children younger than 10 were shot, none fatally. Thats seven more than in the first half of 2015.The victims included a 6-year-old girl who was drawing with sidewalk chalk when she was shot in the back with a bullet intended for rival gang members. A bullet pierced the cheek of a 4-year-old boy as walked down a sidewalk, holding his mothers hand.Wade, a native of Chicagos south suburbs who signed with the Chicago Bulls in July, bemoaned whats happening in some neighborhoods, saying The city of Chicago is hurting.
