CHICAGO -- A 3-year-old girl is among at least 63 people shot, nine fatally, in weekend shootings across Chicago, police said.

The girl was one of at least five minors shot in Chicago over weekend and 20 minors shot overall in the past week.

"It's like you get immune to it; it's a way of life now," one person said.

She was a passenger in the back seat of a vehicle about 11 p.m. in the 4200-block of West Cermak Road when gunfire shattered the back window and grazed her head, according to Chicago police. She was taken to Stroger Hospital, where she was listed in good condition, officials said.

Hours earlier, a 10-year-old boy was hospitalized after being shot while walking on a South Side sidewalk with his father Friday night. Around 8:40 p.m., the boy was walking with his father, another man and another child in the 1000-block of East 93rd Street in the city's Burnside neighborhood when someone in a red sedan fired shots at the group, according to Chicago police.

A teen girl was shot on the city's South Side early Sunday morning, Chicago police said. The shooting happened in the Back of the Yards neighborhood's 4400-block of South Wood Street at about 4 a.m., police said. A 14-year-old girl, who was a passenger in a vehicle, was shot in the arm. The Chicago Fire Department transported the victim to Comer Children's Hospital in good condition, police said. There is no one in custody and Area One detectives are investigating.

Last weekend, 30 people were shot, four fatally, in shootings across the city, police said.

So far in September, Chicago police have said 24 people have died due to weekend gun violence.

When do they run out of scumbags? Or do they just make more?

I’d wager that none of those shootings were done by someone using an AR15 or AK47

But those seem to be the liberals favorites to ban

Send trauma surgeons home every weekend and we’d thin out the herd

“When do they run out of scumbags? Or do they just make more?”

When you’ve got a million or so black democrats scrunched into a couple of square miles, then lead is going to fly.
