CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 21 people have been shot, four fatally, in gun violence across Chicago this weekend, police said.

A man was shot and killed Saturday night in the South Loop.

The 32-year-old victim was found dead in the driver's seat of an SUV around 9:16 p.m. near South State Street and East Cermak Road, Chicago police said.

He was shot more than once in the chest, police said. No one was in custody as police continue to investigate.

Three people were shot, one fatally, in an exchange of gunfire on the city's Northwest Side early Saturday.

Police said a 31-year-old man was in the 1600 of North Hamlin Avenue around 1:17 a.m. when he was approached by a vehicle with two men inside. The two men began to shoot firearms at the victim.

The victim, who is a concealed carry license holder, pulled out his own gun and returned fire, police said. One of the men in the vehicle, age 44, was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The victim was shot in the torso and taken to a hospital in fair condition, police said. The other man in the vehicle, age 37, was shot in the shoulder and also taken to a hospital in fair condition.

Weapons were recovered at the scene. No information about arrests or criminal charges was immediately available.

The murders are disproportionally targeting the people of color.
Maybe NAACP should sue the Chicago major for racial discrimination.

Chicago’s problem is thug violence, not gun violence, but they can’t come out and write that.

What’s the big deal? Just another weekend in the combat zone, the free fire zone. I’d say those boyz need some more range time.
