It's Monday, April 17th, and this is your morning wire afternoon update.

The city of Chicago experienced another chaotic weekend after hundreds of teenagers went

on a violent rampage in a popular tourist area on Saturday night.

During the riot, two miners were shot.

Daily Wire contributor David Marcus has the latest.

Teens were seen jumping on cars, smashing windshields, attacking the people inside and burning

vehicles.

One video shows a mob of teens swarming and violently beating a young woman who was attempting

to enter a building.

Footage also showed the teen trying to breach police barricades.

Police were called to the area to usher tourists and residents to safety.

Two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, were shot, and 15 individuals were arrested.

The city's mayor-elect issued a statement in which he said he did not, quote, condone

the destructive activity.

But added, it's not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of

opportunities in their own communities.

End quote.

Across Chicago, at least 32 individuals were shot in total over the weekend with four deaths.

A California church has been ordered to pay over $1 million in COVID fines for failing

to enforce the county's social distancing and masking requirements.
