CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 45 people have been shot, one fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.
Two teenage boys and a man were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Austin neighborhood Friday evening.
They were standing near the sidewalk around 7:30 p.m. in the 5500-block of West Quincy Street when a black Kia drove by and someone from inside opened fire, Chicago police said.
About an hour later, six men were shot on Chicago's West Side, police said.
The men were on the street when multiple suspects opened fire, police said.
Three other men, 39, 33 and 38 years old, were shot in their legs and are expected to be OK.
No one is in custody. CPD detectives are investigating.
Minutes later, a 12-year-old boy was shot while riding his bike on the city's South Side, police said.
Last weekend, at least 29 people were shot, four fatally, in gun violence across the city, police said.

I think the careful shooters avoid striking above the waist, thus preventing the attempted murder charge, should they ever be caught and prosecuted.
WHY oh why would anybody shoot a 12 year old boy on a bike?
Feral youth gangs do not have logical reasons for what they do.
It wouldn’t be Chicago if they didn’t have weekend violence. A lot of people move their for the violence.
can’t be......guns are illegal in Chicago
You mean, there are people left in Chicago who still haven’t been murdered or at least shot once? At the rate they’ve been getting shot in the last decade or so, most everybody there has been shot at least once. ;)
Must be those white supremacist Boy Scouts again.
That seems counter-intuitive to my old fashioned thinking. It's a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Time is running out for this country. We are being dragged into an abyss of lawlessness.
Per heyjackass.com: Final Demonized Tally: 3 killed, 47 wounded.
Range time kids.
Dang. 1 for 45. Their kill rate is way down this week. Gonna throw their average off a bit.
WUT? certainly the shooters had permits and FOIDs. No?
>WHY oh why would anybody shoot a 12 year old boy on a bike?
You mean the (possible/likely) rival gang member? Or (possible/likely) drug mule? Or just another of the feral urban yoots that’d shoot someone else over the change in their pocket? Or....

Wait ‘til Summer REALLY kicks in.

They want them to endure the pain of recovery.
They’re warming up for the Memorial Day weekend, always a shooting spectacular in Chicago.

Low fatalities means these misunderstood lads were just gunning n clowning around to post on social media. These lads n Klowns just fire their shitty guns in the general direction.
Looking for fame and clicks where they post the video.
Body count is LOW! The Lo-T hood rats are running out of gas
