At least three people have been killed and 12 others have been wounded across Chicago since Friday, including five in a mass shooting near Daniel Webster Elementary in Lawndale.
Chicago police said that around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, the group of five, ranging in age from 16 to 33, were on the sidewalk in the 800 block of South Karlov Avenue when a fight broke out and shots were fired.
The teen was shot in the back, a man and woman, both 21, were shot in the left arm and a 33-year-old man was shot in the face, officials said. They were all taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.
A second 21-year-old man was shot in the left side of the body and taken to Stroger Hospital, also in serious condition, police said.
About half an hour earlier, a man was shot to death during a block party in Englewood on the South Side.
The man was with others celebrating a man’s 80th birthday in the 5700 block of South Carpenter Street when gunfire erupted and he was shot in the head and body, witnesses and police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hours earlier, two men were dead after they opened fire at each other Saturday evening in the South Side, according to Chicago police.
The shootout happened around 5 p.m. in the 5500 block of South Bishop Street when each man pulled a gun on the other and opened fire, Chicago police said.
Both were struck by bullets and taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified one of the men as Derrick Washington, 29. The other man, 38, hasn’t been identified yet.
At least seven others were wounded since Friday, 5 p.m.
At least one person was killed and 31 others were wounded — including a 13-year-old and two 16-year-olds — in shootings last weekend in Chicago.
