CHICAGO -- Five people were killed and 20 others wounded in shootings across Chicago this weekend, including a 16-year-old boy who was gunned down while visiting a friend in Marquette Park.
He was visiting a friend about 8:45 p.m. Friday when two men started arguing with him inside an apartment in the 6300-block of South Richmond Street, Chicago police said.
The men began hitting the boy, but he was able to escape the apartment and fled down the street, police said. The men chased him and fired shots as they ran, striking him several times throughout the body.
The boy was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead, police said. He was identified as Julian Castillo by the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Jesus Moro, 21, and Sergio Rodgriguez, 20, are facing murder charges in connection with the shooting.
In other deadly attacks, a person was killed in a shooting Sunday in Austin on the West Side.
About 11:10 a.m., a male was in the 1400-block of North Mayfield Avenue when someone opened fire, striking him in the head, police said. He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he was pronounced dead.
Hours earlier, one man was killed and another wounded in a shooting in West Chesterfield on the South Side.
They were outside about 12:20 a.m. in the first block of West 91st Street when a group of males approached and fired shots after an argument, police said. One man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the back and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Where are they getting the ammo? Was at Cabela’s yesterday - not one single bullet on the shelves - entire sections of the Gun Department were empty, including the reloading supplies.
Was bug-eyed Lori Lighthead wounded or affected by this? (Nope)
Five people were shot dead in Chicago last weekend yet it's not even mentioned by MSLSD or Mayor Lightweight.
Could somebody help me out here? Something does not compute.
Situation normal, chicago style.
It’s too dangerous to send National Guard to Chicago.
Mostly peaceful violence

Same place they got the gun... :(

No Whitey to blame, so not in the news.
Chicago shootings: 25 shot, 5, fatally
5 for 25 is a 1 in 5 kill ratio. I strongly urge more time at the range.
The weather was in to the 40’s after many weeks of below-average cold.
Spring is in the air - the chirp of birds, the sound of gunfire on the south side.
Year to Date
Shot & Killed: 87
Shot & Wounded: 347
Total Shot: 434
Total Homicides: 90
Well, they’d better get busy if they plan to break last year’s record-breaking homicide total.
Where’s bammy? Lebrainless? Alyssa? Jesse? Al? BLM?
Whitey’s fault.
