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.

A hidden statistic — the percentage of the seriously wounded who usually die a week or so afterwards.
I'm not suggesting it does. Just pointing out that as a 45+ year Chicago area resident that this uptick in violence/shootings/murders/robberies/muggings etc.. happens every year about this time, and it just so happens (not) to coincide with the weather getting warmer. It's totally predictable.
After all, the gang-banging thugs don't like the cold weather, unless your Juicy Smooolyeah who goes out on the coldest night of the year at 2am for a Subway sammich and gets beat up for being a homosexual because after all, Chicago is "maga country" 'n all that....
One death. What kind of guns are they using anyway? I want to make sure I don’t buy it
