Chicago’s weekend bloodshed included nine murders and 56 shooting victims – and an alderman was assaulted by a group of men who appeared intoxicated and high on illicit drugs.
A 3-year-old boy was among the shooting victims. The child was shot in the back at 10:45 a.m. Saturday in the 9300 block of South Escanaba Avenue on the South Side in what police believe to be an accident, the Chicago Sun Times reported. The child was hospitalized in good condition.
The most gun violence happened within a four-hour time frame Saturday morning when five people were killed. Among them were two men, 34-year-old Charles Jackson Jr. and a yet-to-be identified 29-year-old victim, who were struck and killed in a drive-by shooting in Lawndale on the West Side. Police said someone in a red vehicle at about 12:15 a.m. opened fire in the 1900 block of South Saint Louis Avenue.
