Chicago residents are calling for more police as crime continues to plague the Windy City, with the Trump administration considering sending in the National Guard.
"When I've been growing up actually, it wasn't really as bad as it is today. When I was growing up back in the early 2000s… it was bad, but the kids nowadays, they're just wreaking havoc in all of the neighborhoods," Osiris King told Fox News Digital.
Illinois officials presided over a deadly Labor Day weekend as 32 separate shootings occurred in Chicago, leaving at least seven people killed and 37 others injured.
King, a Chicago native living on the South Side, said crime in the city has worsened.
"We didn't play with guns, and we didn't listen to drill rap music, like at this very young age. Like these kids are carrying guns, like around the age of eight years old. And they're killing other eight-year-old kids with guns. It's insane to me," King said.
