CHICAGO -- Nine juveniles are among at least 52 people shot, 11 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.

Two people were seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting Sunday night in Brighton Park on the Southwest Side. A man, 29, and a 40-year-old woman were near a sidewalk about 7:45 p.m. in the 2400-block of West 43rd Street when someone drove up in a car and an occupant began shooting, Chicago police said.

This weekend has been particularly violent for juveniles in Chicago.

A 16-year-old boy was killed and a 13-year-old girl wounded in a shooting Saturday night near South Fairfield and South Washtenaw avenues in Lawndale on Chicago's West Side, according to Chicago police. Police say two males got out of a car and shot the victims.

A 14-year-old boy was also grazed by gunfire Saturday night at a playground in the West Garfield Park neighborhood. The teen suffered a graze wound to the face about 7 p.m. while in the 4400-block of West Wilcox Street, Chicago police said.

Friday night was also violent evening for Chicago's youth.

A 12-year-old boy is still in serious condition after he was shot on the West Side Friday night. Someone inside a gray sedan opened fire, striking the boy in the chest near South Albany Avenue and West Arthington Street in Lawndale at about 8:35 p.m.

Friday night was also violent evening for Chicago's youth.

In with the obligatory “more range time recommended” post.
20% is a shameful average, even with the pistol tilted sideways.

Clearly these people need more range time.

I wonder if she has ever had any reactions to this ongoing violence in her city.

Well she has called for more gun control.

These dimbulb goons are not out to kill. They just want to amp things up for the weekend, with some wildly inaccurate spray and pray. They are all stoned on weed. On a drive by, I promise you, that all in the automobile are laughing their heads off.

Gunfire = funtime.

I doubt there are any gun ranges in Chicago city limits. Only a police range or two.

I’m sure you are correct. It’s just wishful thinking on my part.
The sooner they kill each other off, the better. Demon seed.
