CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 20 people have been shot, one fatally, in Chicago shootings so far this weekend, police said.
A toddler was shot inside a South Side home on Saturday afternoon, Chicago police said. The shooting happened in the Calumet Heights neighborhood's 8800-block of South Euclid Avenue at about 3:40 p.m.
Police said a 3-year-old boy was struck in the face by gunfire. The victim was transported to Jackson Park Hospital, and then transferred to Comer Children's Hospital in serious condition.
There is no one in custody and area detectives are investigating. Police did not immediately provide further information about the shooting.
Less than two hours later, another child and a man were shot inside a Woodlawn home, police said. The shooting happened in the 6600-block of South Drexel Avenue at about 5:08 p.m.
Three men were hurt in a shooting Saturday night in Morgan Park, police said.
The men - ages 24, 37 and 38 - were standing outside in the 1300-block of West 111th Street shortly before 11:30 p.m. when someone fired shots then ran away, police said.
The three men were all taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center where the 24-year-old was in serious condition and the 37- and 38-year-olds were in good condition.
No arrests have been made and detectives are investigating.

All those Shitcargo yutes should join the Ukrainian army. They Russians would not last 3 days.
Probably not much use in the Ukraine. But if the Russia invades Chicago it would take heavy casualties.
Once again the so-called “news” media mispells ‘gang’ as ‘gun’.
WHO is paying the medical bills for all these shootings?
Northridge Hospital in Los Angeles finally had to shut down because of all the costs of treating knife/gun victims and never collecting a penny from them.
“Frequent Flyers” were costing them so much the entire hospital had to shut down.
Are the thugs who are good marksmen temporarily in jail???? 1 out of 20 is not good shooting. Chicago can’t do anything right . . . buffoons. . . .
I doubt that any are good marksmen. Hits seem to be dumb luck (and perhaps not on the individual being targeted)...fatalities just bad luck on the part of the victim.
Feel sorry for those trapped in that hell hole, but please stay or move to another blue state.
Northridge Hospital is still operating. Are you thinking of MLK hospital in South LA?
That wasn’t “gun violence”. It was people violence. If it was “gun violence”, there would have been guns who had been shot and wounded.
How many get shot on the other 5 days? more or less?
Are weekends higher?
It's not like any of these people work.
Wow! And the media had such hopes for a higher body count over the weekend. Apparently, an increased police presence DOES make a difference.
Those roving gangs of “youths” must have had second thoughts on their plans for another “wilding” expedition through the city.
