CHICAGO -- Twelve people were shot, five fatally, in Chicago weekend violence since Friday night.

A 19-year-old man was found shot to death early Saturday in Belmont Cragin on the Northwest Side.

About 1:25 a.m., officers responded to a call of shots fired in the 2200-block of North Lockwood Avenue and found the teen lying unresponsive on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds to the back and abdomen, Chicago police said.

He was transported to Illinois Masonic Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

A 40-year-old man was fatally shot Friday night during an altercation in an Englewood apartment after he was playing music and a neighbor made several noise complaints, police said.

A person was arrested after allegedly shooting a man and crashing into a vehicle Friday in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

A 62-year-old man was standing in a crowd about 7:40 p.m. in the 200-block of East 47th Street when a male suspect got out of a Jeep Laredo and opened fire, Chicago police said.

A woman was critically hurt in a shooting Friday night on the Dan Ryan Expressway near 49th Street.

The 55-year-od woman was traveling south on I-94 just after 7 p.m. when her vehicle was struck by gunfire near 49th Street in the Fuller Park neighborhood, according to Illinois State Police.

She suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, fire officials said.

A person was killed and another wounded in a shooting Friday in Lawndale on the West Side.

The men, both 20, were in a vehicle that was stopped at a red light about 6:30 p.m. in the 3900-block of West 16th Street when a person approached them on foot and fired shots, Chicago police said.

The dems will use that fact to justify taking guns from NON-VIOLENT, honest citizens while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

See, it’s Independence Day weekend! Blacks were oppressed during the Revolutionary War so that’s why they’re lashing out!

You're right: the over/under is 45 shootings, 12 fatalities by the time the weekend is over. I'm taking the over.

In all honesty, this number of wounded & dead is a paltry showing for a Friday night. I’m expecting a better effort Saturday & Sunday night.

Yes but the kill ratio is up. Sadly It appears target practice is paying off.

we still need to increase the kill ratio so we won’t have to spend so much taxpayer money tending to the wounded, many of whom will go on to commit more crimes.
