No, Chicago is not dangerous on a per-capita basis. The news is incentivized to get attention, and "OMG you'll get robbed and shot" is a very effective and crude way to get those clicks.
Chicago is no different than any other large city in that being aware of your surroundings and not doing dumb things is expected.
