43 SHOT, 10 FATALLY IN WEEKEND
Nine juveniles are among at least 43 people shot, ten fatally, in Chicago gun violence so far this weekend, police said.
Five people were shot, three fatally, after a caravan involving about 100 cars on the Southwest Side, Chicago police said. The shooting happened in the Brighton Park neighborhood’s 4300 block of South Kedzie Avenue at about 4 a.m. on Sunday, police said.
Police said they responded to calls of a caravan that had taken over the Archer and Kedzie intersection, where drifting occurred. At least 13 rounds were fired, police said.
Four male shooting victims self-transported to Holy Cross and Mount Sinai hospitals.
The three victims who died, including two 20-year-olds, were affiliated with a gang, police said. The third victim’s age is not yet known.
The two men who survived, 21 and 19 years old, are in serious condition, but expected to recover from their injuries, police said.
It is unclear how the drag racing escalated into a shooting.
Police did not recover any guns on the scene and said they are still looking to speak with “one or two people” who are “not necessarily” those in the hospital. Area One detectives are investigating.
