A violent weekend left four people dead and at least 52 others injured, including a 10-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy, in shootings across Chicago.
This marks the second weekend in a row where more than 50 people were shot in Chicago. Last weekend, eight people were killed and at least 45 others were wounded, reportedly making it the city's most violent two-day weekend since Father's Day 2013.
The 10-year-old girl was among three people shot Sunday afternoon in the South Side Woodlawn neighborhood, police said. The shooting happened at about 12:50 p.m. in the 1400 block of East 66th Place.
The girl suffered a graze wound to the neck and was taken to Comer Children's Hospital in good condition, according to police.
Two teenagers were also wounded in the shooting. A 19-year-old man was critically injured after he was shot in the back, and an 18-year-old woman was shot in the right calf. Both were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Another incident Sunday left a 13-year-old boy and two other teenagers injured. The boy was inside a residence in the 11300 block of South Throop with two other boys, ages 15 and 16, when they heard a loud noise at about 2:35 a.m., police said.
The boys then ran to a window, and an unknown person outside fired shots at the window, according to police. All three boys were transported to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries from broken glass and other debris.
