The spate of gun violence continued unabated in Chicago over the weekend with a toll of at least 13 people shot, four succumbing to their injuries, as reported by CBS News Chicago and confirmed by details from ABC7 Chicago.
Among the incidents, a confrontation that escalated into gunfire in the 5800 block of West North Avenue saw a 31-year-old woman shot in the arm; on South Central Avenue, a food vendor, who is a licensed concealed carry holder, was involved in a shootout resulting in the death of a 30-year-old man and injuries to the vendor.
Shootings persisted across the city spanning from the West Side to the city's Loop and Little Village neighborhoods, involving victims ranging from teenagers to adults in their forties; for instance, two teens were shot while standing on the sidewalk in the 2600 block of South Avers Avenue, sadly the 16-year-old succumbed to his injuries, and near State and Washington Streets, a 19-year-old woman was wounded in a separate incident while walking on the sidewalk, reported to be in fair condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
One incident on Sunday afternoon turned fatal when a 43-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were gunned down from a dark-colored sedan in Little Village, with the man later dying from his injuries and the woman was treated for a gunshot wound to her leg, as per ABC7 Chicago.
The police, working through these multiple cases, have yet to make arrests in connection with most of the shootings.
