During the American Civil War, generals were known to ask for the daily "butcher’s bill," a euphemism for the number of casualties incurred from that day’s battle.

This past Labor Day weekend in Chicago, the butcher’s bill was 58 people shot, dozens injured and eight killed due to gun violence, compared to 55 people shot and eight killed during the 4th of July weekend.

So far this year, Chicago’s butcher’s bill is averaging about one murder a day, according to the Chicago Police Department, which has already reported nearly 1,000 shootings, 278 murders, and 1,094 sexual assaults, not to mention significant problems with burglary, theft and carjackings.
