CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 35 people have been shot, four fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.

A concealed-carry license holder shot and critically injured a man during a shootout on Chicago's South Side early Saturday morning, police said.

Police said the shooting happened in the Englewood neighborhood's 200-block of West 63rd Street at about 1:40 a.m.

Two men, 36 and 49 years old, were arguing at a gas station when the 36-year-old got a gun out of his vehicle and fired at the 49-year-old, police said. The 49-year-old, a CCL holder, returned fire and hit the 36-year-old in his arm.

The 36-year-old was transported to St. Bernard Hospital, where he is listed in critical condition.

Area One detectives are investigating. Police did not immediately provide further information about the shooting.

A man was found fatally shot Sunday night in Roseland on the Far South Side.

About 11:40 p.m., officers responding to a call of shots fired in the 100-block of West 113th Street found a 34-year-old man sitting in a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his left ear, Chicago police said.

He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was pronounced dead, police said.

No one was in custody.

Not “gun violence,” it’s people violence.

“...gunshot wound to his left ear...”

I suspect that shot was really to the skull, at the left ear.

Four killed out of twenty-five, sounds like bad ammo choices.
