CHICAGO -- At least 29 were shot, one fatally, across Chicago since Friday evening, including a man wounded by a security guard during a shootout at Millennium Park.
A man was found fatally shot Sunday morning in a Gresham apartment complex on the South Side.
The man, 24, was found by a tenant with two gunshot wounds to the head in the entry way of the complex in the 7800-block of South Laflin Street about 1:30 a.m., Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 22-year-old man was trying to enter Millennium Park about 7:20 p.m. Friday in the first-block of East Monroe Street but refused to undergo a check by a metal-detecting wand at an entry point, police said.
The man then jumped a fence to gain entry into the park. As security approached, he pulled out a gun and fired, police said. An off-duty Cook County sheriff's officer, who was working as a security guard, returned fire.
The man was shot but was able to flee on foot to the Riverwalk. He was caught and taken into custody in the 300-block of East Riverwalk, police said, then taken to a nearby hospital. His injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.
A 16-year-old boy was shot Sunday night in East Garfield Park on the West Side.
The teen was outside in the 3300-block of West Madison Street about 11:30 p.m. when he was struck in the right leg by gunfire, police said.
Last weekend, five people were killed and 29 others wounded in shootings across the city.

Emergency room doctors in Chicagoland must be more expert at treating gunshot wounds than the U.S. military. There is a mini-war there every week.
So 29 law abiding,suburban NRA members came into Chicago to shoot up the place?
Millenium Park….
Yep, this summer is gonna be awesome in Chicago.

And all that freak for a mayor can say is “Gun Violence “.
“Emergency room doctors in Chicagoland must be more expert at treating gunshot wounds than the U.S. military.”
They train at Cook County Hospital.

The dumb rednecks around here must really mean it when they shoot someone, because a 29/1 ratio would have the jury thinking they didn’t even really want to in this neck of the woods.
Idiot news reader on ABC 7 screamed that the gun was bought in Indiana! No mention of the career criminal who pulled the trigger.
29 shot only 1 killed. This reminds me of growing up in Youngstown 45 years ago. At that point Youngstown was dubbed Murder Capital surpassing Chicago. Same crime, same type of perps and drugs.
Once spotlight came on, Killings dropped dramatically and statistics like 29 shot 1 killed started to appear. Funny how history repeats. Last I heard, Y-town is still a Democrat run Sh!thole.
Happens every year, it's totally predictable.
On a similar note, every CPD officer has had their vacation time cancelled leading up to, and after Memorial Day. Three day holiday weekends almost always have the highest number of shootings and killings.
Also totally predictable.
I miss being able to access the SecondCityCop blog. The comments there were always spot-on and priceless.
You speak of getting worse, change
The fact is it doesn’t matter. The condition exists in Chicago and does not matter to real Americans elsewhere
Just remember the worse that could happen to a Chicago police officer for not answering a call is for them to be fired. They have no legal duty to protect anyone.
Somebody needs some range time...
Only one of twenty nine were kill shots? It’s a good thing these pukes can’t shoot straight…
Time to slowly and methodically fence these neighborhoods in and send in the marine’s. take them out and bulldoze the f@#king place Flat. Something has to be done ,for God’s sake.
Dad: son, it's always black people.
Even the near north side is dangerous. A mass shooting at Chicago and State
Truly vacation season has arrived at Benghazi-by-the-Lake.
If I were in the CPD, I'd push to instead drag all the Chicago parolees into prison for the weekend. For the children... and all that.
Hmmmm. Only one fatal? Chicongo residents need some range time. Or get the side sights checked.
