CHICAGO - A city employee caught in gang crossfire was among four people killed and 29 more wounded in shootings across Chicago since late Friday afternoon, police said.

The most recent homicide happened Saturday night in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.

A 26-year-old man was walking in the 7000 block of South Carpenter about 7:40 p.m. when two gunmen walked out of a gangway and opened fire, shooting him in the abdomen, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center where he later died.

The latest wave of violence saw seven people wounded in about less than five hours overnight Sunday.

Putting aside the murders, Twenty-nine wounded is a pretty jaw-dropping statistic all by itself. Chiraq, indeed.
