More than three dozen people have been shot so far over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago, with five victims having died from their injuries.
The first fatal shooting of the weekend was reported in the 4400 block of West Jackson at approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday.
According to police, a 24-year-old man was standing on a sidewalk when two vehicles approached, and multiple gunmen opened fire, striking him multiple times in the back.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, and an investigation remains underway.
Just after midnight in the 1300 block of North Hudson, officers responding to a call of shots fired discovered a 31-year-old man lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his chest.
The man was rushed to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
At approximately 2:52 a.m. in the 6000 block of South Racine, another fatal shooting was reported Saturday.
A 22-year-old man was found lying on the street after having been shot in the chest and in the arm, and he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

How many of these shootings occurred in a “gun-free” zone?
Still have the rest of Sunday and Monday to go. Final number of 50 plus likely.
sorry, dont care.
What was the race of the black people involved in this carnage?
Yes, always seems disengenious to report totals halfway through the weekend.
Weekend ain’t over yet.
Hopefully drug dealers killing each other.
They can’t/won’t catch the criminals, which is part of the problem. CPD has been so humiliated that there’s no way they recoup their numbers and bounce back. Grandpa would be mortified as retired CPD.
Thing is, Lightfoot will still win re-election just because of her, “victim score” and how, “oppressed” she is, regardless of how many black lives are lost on her watch.
It’s all those violent MAGA people again exercising their so-called 2nd Amendment rights. Just a bunch of white supremacists and white nationalists. Shooting and killing people is not the way to protest. It’s a direct threat to our democracy. Trump needs to be locked up for inciting this violence. His MAGA supporters are pushing for insurrection and civil war.
Only 5! surely they can do better in a target rich environment! There has to be a lot of disrespecting and “dissing” going on!
DOES a single reporter in the entire Chicago area KNOW what the definition of a ‘weekend’ is????
This is the Northwest Side not far from a major police station on Grand Avenue. I left Chicago in 2000 but I do see that shootings are happening in other areas. The word on the street is petty gang grudges or kids out of control.
It amazes me that no matter how bad the Democrats run these big cities the people will continue to re-elect them over and over and expect different results ... definition of insanity?
“Lightfoot will still win re-election “
That’s why I don’t feel sorry for the people in that city. They continue to elect and re-elect the same losers and yet expect different results.
The other problem is that good people say “why bother?” and don’t run for political office. So you’re stuck between voting for two losers.
