CHICAGO (CBS) – Seven people -- including two teens -- are dead, and 23 other people are wounded following weekend shootings across the city as of Sunday. The ages of the victims range from 13 to 62.

In the first shooting of the weekend, a 22-year-old man was shot during an argument in Roseland Friday evening.

Police said the man was arguing with a woman, in the 10200 block of South LaSalle Street around 9:27 p.m., when a known man approached the victim and shot him before fleeing the scene.

The victim was shot in the leg and was transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center in fair condition.

A woman shot a man who attacked another woman in Humboldt Park Friday.

At 12:49 a.m. Monday, police officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert found a 43-year-old man inside a parked car in the 1500 block of East 62nd Street, with a gunshot wound to the head. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Between the abortions of black babies and the murder of black men by black men in Illinois, no wonder their population percentages have never gone up.

Chicago’s a democrat hellhole - what else should be expect? The good news is companies are moving out - to Florida to Texas to sane and safe places.

I will never understand why people keep electing democrats expecting a different outcome than the hellhole they get.
