CHICAGO -- At least 41 people were shot, five fatally, in citywide shootings since Friday night. Those wounded included a Chicago Police officer and a Chicago Fire Department paramedic.
The 30-year-old officer was on patrol late Friday when she heard the gunfire and rushed to the 1900-block of East 72nd Place, where she saw a person lying in the middle of the street, police said.
The officer, who had been on the force for two years, was getting out of her squad car to render aid when additional shots were fired, striking her in the legs, Police Supt. David Brown said. She got back into her squad car and another officer took her to University of Chicago Medical Center, Brown said. She's since been treated and released.
She was the 12th Chicago police officer to be wounded by gunfire this year, according to Brown. At least 34 other officers had been shot at during the same period, he added.
The officer was responding to a call of shots fired that left an 18-year-old dead and 15-year-old wounded. About 11 p.m., a 25-year-old man and a woman were returning to their home in the block with a pizza when they were confronted on their back steps by the two teenagers, Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said.
The older man then exchanged gunfire with the two younger individuals, Deenihan said. The 18-year-old was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at University of Chicago, police said. His name has not been released.

Jives with a trusted source.
Had to check, because I don’t trust the alphabet networks.
The really sad part is that this behavior has been going on since at least the 1960’s, and has not made a dent in the demographic population. You’d think that after a while there would be a reduction in the headcount.
Jibes, too.
What are the aggregate numbers of folk shot in Chicago?
Seems like a certain demographic must almost all be walking about with gunshot wounds rather like the scarification practices of certain tribes.
we spend way too much time, effort, and money saving them just so they can go out and shoot up the place again.
Democrats have decided to replace their black base with a brown ‘south of the border) base... It’s why none of these ‘violent black problems’ will be solved...
Moral of story, don’t show up for duty at ER of Chicago Hospitals already tired at the start of your shift.
Rinse, Repeat.
That one stolen gun from Wisconsin still killing everyone
I long ago stopped giving a feces about what happens in Democrat-run cities.
It ain’t gun violence.
“Teenagers”
Yet another crime where we can clearly see their age but not what they look like.
WEEKEND ain’t over yet
Give it time, it’s only Sunday, getting the number over 50 and maybe 60, should be easy
As chicagoan I know why, because those shootings only occurred in certain neighborhoods and rarely spread over to the rest of city. People no longer care
That sounds lower than usual.
Only 5 killed out of 41? They need more range time in Chicago.
And gee, still very little or no violence going on in VT, ME, NH, ND, SD, MT, many parts of MN, TX and TN, and elsewhere where many lawfully own guns. I guess many do not want to make that kind of connection.
Read the latest Second City Cop article - the Far Left Wing Chicago “News” media still defends Mayor Lighthead and Governor Putzker no matter what crime happens in the City.
