Four people were killed and ten others wounded in shootings across Chicago this weekend.
The weekend was equally deadly, but had less total shootings, than last weekend, when four people were killed and 22 others wounded between 5 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday.
In the latest deadly attack, a 27-year-old man was shot and killed while seated in a vehicle Sunday morning on the South Side, police said. Someone walked up to him and fired gunshots about 11:20 am.
About 12:20 a.m. Sunday, a man was fatally shot on the West Side. Officers found the 37-year-old laying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the chest, police said.
Another man was found fatally shot Saturday in Gresham on the South Side. Officers responded to a call of shots fired about 8:10 p.m. in the 7600 block of South Loomis Boulevard and found the 43-year-old on the ground with a gunshot wound to his face, police said.
On Friday, a man was killed and another wounded in a shooting at a gas station in Austin on the West Side. Someone fired shots at the men just after 8 p.m. as they sat in a parked vehicle at the station in the 5100 block of West Madison Street, police said.
One man, 28, was struck several times in the body and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died, police said. The other man, 27, was in good condition at the same hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm.
A 28-year-old man was shot during an attempted robbery in Lawndale on the West Side. He was waiting outside for a friend about 12:45 a.m. in the 500 block of South California Avenue when a dark-colored sedan pulled up, and someone inside yelled “Give me everything you got.”

Winter slow down.
Their lives did not matter.
Most popular President EVAH will pass common-sense gun control and put a stop to this. How can you right-wingers be soooo opposed to nice, sweet little gun control laws?
Has to be. Those really aren’t bad numbers considering what they have been having.
The cold and snow isn’t deterring Chicago criminals. It would be nice if the postal employees had the same work ethic.
No ammo shortage in Chicago?
The Temperature in Chicago last night was -2 Deg. F.
They must be shooting only those who are locked indoors with them.
It’ll pick up again in the spring. Then the ‘moms against blacks killing blacks’ will be bacon the street.😕
How can this be? Guns are illegal in Chicago
Snow?............................
Ought to be pointed out....for each death in the city by gunfire...two deaths by opioids occur (2020 numbers).
This during zero weather and heavy snow cover no less! Wait until summer and the weather is much more temperate like..oh I don’t know..Africa.😎
“Bacon”? 2 guesses what’s on my mind. 😄🐖🍳
Outsiders and smuggled weapons account for 100% of Chicago’s firearm crimes.
Illinois should put checkpoints on all roads leading into the state so they can test visitors for covid19 and search them for weapons.
4 dead in Chi-cag-0. I guess the racist white band Crosby Stills Nash and Young just don’t care if it black kids being shot.
Slow weekend, must be the weather.
Better luck next week....
