The last seven days in Chicago have been the most violent week of the year, with just three police districts on the West Side bearing the brunt of the recent violence, according to data kept by the Tribune.

At least 85 people were shot between Monday, April 30, and this past Sunday, including a 4-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy, a 15-year-old on a CTA bus, a young mother, several other young teens, a federal agent and two relatives of a gunshot victim waiting outside a hospital.

The Latest: Iran Central Bank chief tries to calm nerves

33 mins ago

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The Latest on Iran's nuclear deal (all times local):

1:30 p.m.

Iranian state TV is reporting that the country's central bank head believes a U.S. pullout from the nuclear deal will not have a significant effect on Iran's economy.

The Tuesday online report quoted Valiollah Seif as saying: "It doesn't have a significant effect."

However, many in Tehran and elsewhere in the country are worried about what Trump's decision could mean for the country.

Already, the Iranian national currency, the rial, is trading on the black market at 66,000 to the dollar, despite the government-set rate being at 42,000 to $1.
