Eleven people were killed and at least 42 more - including a 3-year-old boy - were wounded in shootings across the city between Friday evening and early Monday, according to Chicago Police.
The most recent homicide happened early Monday on the South Side. A 22-year-old man was shot in the back about 1:30 a.m. and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
About 1:30 p.m., someone used a high-powered assault rifle to kill a 17-year-old boy outside a Catholic church in the Back of the Yards neighborhood during Sunday Mass. The boy was walking outside Holy Cross Church when a light-colored Saturn drove by and someone inside opened fire, striking him multiple times. He died at the scene.
A 3-year-old boy was critically wounded in a Sunday evening shooting in Woodlawn.
He was in a vehicle in the 6100 block of South Kimbark when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, striking the boy in the right shoulder. The driver took him to the University of Chicago Medical Center and he was transferred in critical condition to Comer Children's Hospital.
Additionally, a Chicago Police officer shot and seriously wounded a man brandishing a gun at the Puerto Rican Festival in Humboldt Park Sunday night on the West Side, police said.

seems like a slow week-end for Chi....
Fewer shootings than they often have, but more fatalities.
Because nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” like gunfire.
It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even have to click on the thread title to know it’s Chicago.......Is there anybody left there?
No suspect in custody, no weapon recovered but it was definitely a high-powered assault rifle
When is the Obama speech today?
The site you listed is the go-to site for Chicago shooting statistics, in spite of its name.
Tremendous information here that shows the abject failure of the Rahm Administration and his Democrat toadies who are deliberately allowing this mayhem to take place.
We have an Orlando every four weeks or so in Chicago and no one says a word.
Low powered assault rifle
Good think Chicago has tough gun laws. Otherwise, things would really be out of hand.
And that's just one abortion clinic.
“...someone used a high-powered assault rifle to kill a 17-year-old boy.....”
Ta da! There it is again. No matter what caliber it’s high powered! No make and model yet? Who saw the assault rifle? No descriptions? Maybe it sounded like a high powered assault rifle.
NMI. No More Infringement!
Its how the Big Men of Chicago African American politics keep the gentrifiers out. Its not pretty but if they allow the gentrifiers in out go the Big Men for nice white lady liberal politics. And no one defenestrates African American racial politics like a nice liberal white lady and that style of passive aggressiveness.
Just sayin’....Cleveland had hundreds of thousands of people in the streets last night in spontaneous joyous celebration. No shots were fired.
Must be spending more time at the range.
Gun Control talk in Illinois politics is pablum for the idiot libtards, it doesn’t even rise to the level of code word here. Underneath all of this violence is political power and the white libs in the state have seriously damaged the Pre-Obama Black political power base.
Or just dumb luck.
There is a picture at the Chicago Sun Times link of a shell casing from the “high powered assault weapon.” I’m not thoroughly convinced.
If you go down there, you'd best beware of a man name of LeRoy Brown.
