About

Warzone Chicago is an independent, unofficial tally of shootings, homicides and assaults in Chicago. It isn't run by or affiliated with the City of Chicago, the Chicago Police Department or any news organization.

How we count → The rules behind every number: people vs cases, shootings vs all homicides, how dates and weeks work, and the City files we use.

How fresh it is

City files lag behind real life, so the latest days keep filling in. Right now: shootings through Nov 9, 2026, assaults through Nov 4, 2026; the latest day in each file is still filling. Year-to-date and 4-week counts stop at the last complete day (Nov 8, 2026 for shootings). Last pulled Nov 12, 2026, 8:31 AM CST.
