“Gunmen shot and killed a Chicago rapper Saturday evening as he walked out of Cook County Jail where he had been held for over a year on gun charges, according to multiple sources. The woman who bonded him out and an activist who works outside the jail to assist newly-released detainees were also shot, the sources said.
Londre Sylvester, a 31-year-old who performed as KTS Dre, was pronounced dead at Mt. Sinai Hospital shortly after the 8:50 p.m. shooting near the intersection of California and 27th streets. “KTS” stands for “Kill To Survive,” a phrase he also had tattooed on his neck along with a target symbol.”

Sounds more like a revenge killing/shoot than a mass shooting. The gunmen were after him, the others just happened to get caught in it.

How is that better than a planned attack on all the victims?

It's not, and still the main reason gun violence is so bad in Chicago. Gang turf wars, drugs, and the "you shot my brother, so I'm going to kill you" mentalities.

Make less guns available.
Stricter rules for purchasing guns.
Much harsher penalties for gun crimes. *****
More police patrol in high crime areas.
Better lighting on city streets.
Forget profiling and stereotyping. Rules are Rules.
Enforce underage curfew laws.
Educate parents and hold them responsible too.

I think the shooters should have their FOID cards taken away.

Banning from Public Housing isn't enough? Been policy since Clinton in '98. You know, Bill leader of the communist party and one of our most successful economies in the 1990s.

HUD has sought to ease the impact of PHA policies on former prisoners and especially on their families, seeking to strike “a balance between allowing ex-offenders to reunite with families that live in HUD subsidized housing, and ensuring the safety of all residents of its programs,” as Donovan and Henriquez put it.83 To this end, in fall 2015, HUD issued guidance for PHAs and owners of federally assisted housing regarding use of arrest records in tenancy decisions. The guidance reminds PHAs that HUD does not require a “one-strike” policy under which admission is denied or evictions triggered “any time a household member engages in criminal activity in violation of their lease” in all circumstances. Significantly, the guidance also explicitly prohibits eviction or denial of an application based on an arrest record, which the guidance notes is not in itself evidence of criminal activity.84
