The mass shootings occurred in the Loop and West Garfield Park.
A Chicago police officer was among 25 people shot Friday in Chicago. Two people were killed and seven others wounded in separate mass shootings.
The officer was “ambushed” and shot as he stepped off an elevator while answering a call of a domestic disturbance in Little Italy, the city’s top cop said.
Hours earlier, two people were killed and three others wounded in a mass shooting outside a fire station in the Loop, in the same area where four people were shot in early May.
In the city’s second mass shooting of the day, four people were wounded in West Garfield Park. Just after 9 p.m., a male walking down the 3800 block of West Monroe Street opened fire, striking multiple people, according to the police.
A woman was killed and a gunman among two others wounded in a shootout in Chinatown. A man and another gunman were shooting at each other in the 2200 block of South Wentworth Avenue about 10:50 p.m. when gunfire struck the man and two other women, police said.
A 15-year-old boy was shot in a drive-by in Englewood on the South Side. The teen was walking in the 5900 block of South La Salle Street about 2:25 a.m. when someone inside a blue minivan opened fire and continued south, police said.
A 14-year-old boy was among four people killed by gunfire in Chicago Thursday, and a 13-year-old boy was among 12 others wounded.

So far, the weekend is off to a blistering pace.
Liberal Lesbian Licker Lori Lightfoot was on TV yesterday BEGGING parents to know where their kids are and who they're with.
As if that's gonna stop all this shooting?
Chicago gang-bangers laughed at her and this is the result.
If only Chicago had some effective gun laws.
Elevated start to weekend.
If anyone has plans to visit Chicagun, you might want some extra ammo or frags
Damn! Chicago needs to crack down on those violent White Supremacists and demand gun control measure.

Kind of young to be out on the streets at that hour.
They are becoming worse shots
More practice needed
50? It’s a three day weekend, my friend.
I’m going with 65 shot and 15 killed.
L
Far Left Chicago Sun-Times still claiming that the guns shot the victims not the criminals.
Ok, I'll agree: 65 shot, somewhere between 10-15 killed.
And this after Liberal Lesbian Licker Lori Lightfoot was on the idiot box yesterday with the dumbass chief of police urging parents to "know where their kids are, and who they're with" this weekend.
The gangs laughed and decided to up their quotas based on last nights numbers.
Chiraq is MAGA country.
The correct over/under on shooting and deaths is.......
75 shot.
15 that assume room temperature.
I can see that Chicago is off to a rip roaring start of the long 4th of July weekend. But not to fear, “Beetlejuice” says that crime is down.....who would have guessed? If I had to live in Chicago, I would just lock myself in my home and NEVER GO OUT.
If it weren’t so tragic the satire here is palpable... something about solving poverty by eating the poor (Swift) or hiring “old beldams, or pretended midwives” to rid society of bastard children (Defoe).
