CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 18 people shot, two fatally, in holiday weekend shootings across Chicago, police said.
A man was fatally shot during a downtown fight early Sunday morning, Chicago police said. The shooting happened at about 1:36 a.m. in the Loop, police said. Two men, 38 and 24 years old, were involved in a physical altercation in the 400 block of South Wells Street. The 24-year-old took out a gun and shot the 38-year-old in the chest.
Around the same time, a teen boy was shot on the North Side early Sunday morning, Chicago police said. The shooting happened in the South East Ravenswood neighborhood's 4300 block of North Ashland Avenue at about 1:40 a.m., police said. A 14-year-old boy was outside when an unknown person shot him in the knee. The boy was transported to Lurie Children's Hospital in good condition, police said. The victim was unable to provide further details about the incident and there is no one in custody.
On Saturday, a person was found shot to death in East Garfield Park. Officers found the male unresponsive on the sidewalk about 7:50 a.m. in the 300 block of South Springfield Avenue, Chicago police said. He had suffered more than 15 gunshot wounds on the body and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Area detectives were investigating.
Hours later, a 16-year-old boy was shot while walking on the sidewalk in the Gresham neighborhood on Chicago's South Side Saturday.

Rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up.
Terrible ratio.
Rain in the city?
The kill ratio is down. Think about how bad it would be if these feral negroes knew how to shoot.
It was a quiet weekend in Lake Woebehere..................
Hey, still one more day left in the holiday weekend. I do not understand the repeated rush to close out the weekend before it is actually over. Much like reporting a football game score and results at half-time.
Chicago could raise extra funds by having a lottery based on numbers shot and killed each weekend.
There they go again. Lori’s Kids wasting ammo. She needs to have some shooter classes for her idiots.
Very quiet in Benghazi-by-the-Lake.
weekend ain’t over yet. wait.
Weather dependent, yes.
The beginning of cool weather is moving in and most of this group never adapted to the cold.
I used to work at UChicago nearly surrounded by some of the worst areas in Chiraq. But I rode in an adventurous carpool.
In cold weather, we would knock off a few minutes with one of the more exciting routes. 10F was considered safe, most stay inside and the cars do not start.
A Mostly Peaceful Weekend

It could have been worse. 18 is not all that bad.
Those MAGA terrorists are at it again
Yes, ‘A Quiet Weekend in the City. Only Two Killed’
”We have a winner! Who picked 75 shot, 49 killed?”
”Yo...over here, cuz.”
Now,they’ve rigged the murder lottery. Shameful!
What holiday weekend did I miss?
Columbus Day. Or if you live in a blue state, indigenous day.
It blew right by me. It isn’t even printed on my wall calendar. It’s a conspiracy!
