CHICAGO -- At least six people were killed and 19 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday evening.

Gunfire broke out outside a Belmont Cragin bar early Sunday, killing three people and wounding a woman, Chicago police said. A fight inside the bar spilled onto the street outside around 2:30 a.m. near Central Avenue and School Street.

Someone opened fire in the 5500 block of West School and struck two men and two women, he said. The shooter fled the scene in a dark-colored SUV and has not been arrested, Brennan said. The men, 50 and 26, were shot in the head and body and pronounced dead at the scene, police said. A woman, 24, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead, police said. Another woman, 25, was taken to the same hospital in critical condition with a gunshot to her head.

On Saturday, a woman was shot to death while driving in the Belmont Gardens neighborhood on the Northwest Side. Just after 1 a.m., Felicia Cortes, 27, was driving in the 2700 block of North Pulaski Road when someone in another car began to shoot at her, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. Cortes lost control of the car and crashed into a nearby dumpster, with the vehicle then going up in flames. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Earlier Saturday morning, a concealed carry holder shot two offenders during a possible attempted car theft, Chicago police said. Police are still investigating the attack as it joins the growing number of incidents where armed residents are shooting their alleged attackers to avoid becoming victims of a crime. The gunshots rang out early in morning in the heart of city's Loop .

Thank you so much for saying that!
We don’t want the tourists [or the media] [or CPD] to think Chicago has a CRIME problem.

Those darn white people are at it again. Why don’t they just pay their reparations, drive an EV, wear a mask 24/7, get solar panels, buy a $35 roasted chicken, give up their guns and shut up?

This is true.
But also, it’s a little unsettling that ABC7 Chicago has a feature called “Chicago Neighborhood Safety Tracker” ... in better times wouldn’t need that.
