Chicago’s weekend crime saw at least 39 people wounded in shootings citywide, and, as carjacking incidents continue to surge, one woman was held at knifepoint with her two young children present.
Chicago police say a drive-by shooting at about 3:40 a.m. Sunday in West Town on the Northwest Side killed a 32-year-old man who was shot in the chest and wounded another four people. In Little Village at about 7:15 p.m. Saturday, two people got out of a vehicle and began firing shots, striking and killing a 45-year-old on the sidewalk whose name has not been released.
Another drive-by shooting at about 7:50 p.m. Saturday in the 3500 block of West 12th Place left three people wounded, including two 16-year-olds. Police say a dark vehicle pulled up and someone inside began spraying bullets at people on the sidewalk. Another two teenagers were wounded about two hours earlier in a shooting that happened in Chicago Lawn on the Southwest Side at about 5:50 p.m.
