Despite Illinois’s mandatory stay-at-home order that allows only limited outdoor activity and bans gatherings of 10 or more, Chicago experienced its deadliest Memorial Day weekend in five years.
Police said 10 people were shot and killed in the city, the highest total since 2015, according to local news outlet NBC5 Chicago.
