CHICAGO -- At least 43 people have been shot, three fatally, in shootings across Chicago since Friday night, including one person killed and nine wounded in a single attack in Chatham.
Just after 2 a.m, two males approached a group standing on the sidewalk in the 7500-block of South Prairie Avenue and opened fire.
A 29-year-old woman was struck in the leg and abdomen and transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center where she was pronounced dead, police said. The Cook County medical examiner's office has not yet identified her.
Nine more victims, ranging in age from 23 to 49 years old were transported to area hospitals all in fair or good condition, according to police.
There is no one in custody.
A 20-year-old woman was killed in a shooting Friday night in Brighton Park on the Southwest Side.
She was in a vehicle with her boyfriend about 8:50 p.m. when a gunman approached them while yelling gang slogans in the 4700-block of South Rockwell Street, police said.
The woman was sitting in the passenger seat when she was struck in the neck and hand, police said.
After the shooting, her boyfriend drove off and pulled over at a Shell gas station, 4658 S California Ave., where Chicago Fire Department paramedics arrived. The woman was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital and later pronounced dead, police said. She has not yet been identified.

These ghetto retards suck at shooting.
Man that’s a lot of ammo expended. Wonder where they’re getting it. I can’t find 9 mm or 40 anywhere.
I’m looking for .40 cal as well...
I have a solution that might just work!
RANGE TIME IS INFRASTRUCTURE!
Since this is from an ABC station, I will wait until tomorrow to get the real numbers. HeyJackass will have the real totals later today.
An odd question...these are all the folks shot within the city limits. What about the knife-wound folks....totally different listing?
Their typesetters can save a lot of trouble and use the same template for their article headline every week—just change the numbers
Chicago shootings: 43 shot, 3 fatally, in weekend violence across city
It's a combination of that, and Chicago trauma teams being among the best practiced in the world.
Shooting people would be far easier and less riskier than knifing I could think. To knife people, you have to walk up them I expect.
Shooting assaults and murders can be done more safely from a lazy, cowardly distance.
As long as its BLM terrorists, looters, arsonists,insurrectionists etc shooting each other...
Beetlejuice reminds us that murders are trending in the right direction - so never fear!
No doubt about that.
Imagine being on call there…
U.S. Army medical corps used to (and still may) send Army docs to Chicago to learn to treat gunshot wounds.
Black lives matter?
Carappola.
Still do - before heading to Iraq, Army and Navy Docs were in training at Cook County [Stroger] Hospital.
More gunshot wounds at Cook Country ER than most battle zones.
They require guard rails to keep cars from driving into pedestrians, why not require guard columns to keep bullets from flying into pedestrians?
My first thoughts, too.
47 shootings, only 3 "on-target".
Maybe they should try not holding the firearm sideways....
