26 HOURS IN CHICAGO
In 14 hours in Chicago, 26 people were shot, including a 3-year old boy. This took place between Friday night and Saturday morning.
The toddler was shot in the leg with six others in one shooting. A 38-year old woman was shot in the attack while sitting in her backyard.
One person was killed in a shooting attack — a 27-year-old man shot in the chest and arm just before 3 p.m. Friday on the South Side, Chicago police said.
The 3-year old is in stable condition in the hospital.
A “young male’’ between the ages of 15 and 17 shot himself in the head following a foot pursuit with police in the West Side’s Lawndale neighborhood, according to Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
SATURDAY WAS NO BETTER, 23 SHOT IN 12 HOURS
Another 23 people were shot, two fatally, between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Three people were shot at a peace event at a park on the Near North Side. Another at the event was beaten.
“It’s senseless and should have never happened,” event organizer Raymond Hatcher told reporters. “We were doing well. Everything was going swell, and then a group of guys who were not associated with us, came to the event intoxicated,” peace organizer Raymond Hatcher said.
