Chicago At least five people were gunned down in a single day in Chicago, including a 34-year-old man whose mother had already lost her three other children to shootings.

Ronnie Chambers, who was his mother Shirley’s youngest child, was shot in the head on Sunday while sitting in a parked car on the city’s West Side. A 21-year-old man who was also in the car was wounded, the police said.

Shirley Chambers, whose two other sons and daughter were shot in separate attacks more than a decade ago, was left grieving again on Saturday, WLS-TV reported. “Right now, I’m totally lost because Ronnie was my only surviving son,” Chambers said.

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. “What did I do wrong?...They took my only child. I have nobody now,” Chambers said.

Unsecular stories against Christians by Hindu India will not work by Save India for Jesus on 29 Jan 2013

India is publishing anti Christian stories about so called gun violence in USA, a land blest by Jesus. Hindus can achieve nothing by this malicious propaganda. Jesus has marked India to be saved and all the souls who do not submit to harvest by Jesus will be lost to satan for ever.
