57 shot, 7 fatally over weekend

At least seven people have been killed and 50 others, including nine minors, were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend.

The numbers surpass those of the same weekend last year, when 43 people were shot, three of them fatally.

The previous weekend, 64 people were shot across the city, 13 of them fatally. Six of those victims were teenagers and one teen was killed.

The latest fatal shooting left a man dead early Sunday in Little Village on the Southwest Side.

The 20-year-old was shot about 2:55 a.m. in the 3200 block of West Cermak Road, according to Chicago police. He was dropped off at Mount Sinai Hospital with gunshot wounds to his right cheek and the right side of his abdomen and pronounced dead a short time later.

About 20 minutes before that, two people who had been shot, one of them fatally, flagged down officers for help in the Loop.

The man and woman drove up to the officers about 2:35 a.m. in the 300 block of North Wabash Avenue to ask for medical attention because they’d been shot, police said. The man, 35, suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, while the 25-year-old woman was shot in the left arm. Both were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where the man died. The woman was listed in good condition.

Both victims were uncooperative and would not tell officers where the shooting occurred, police said.
