CHICAGO -- At least 32 people have been shot, eight fatally, in weekend gun violence across Chicago, police said.
A man was found fatally shot early Sunday on the Near West Side. The 21-year-old was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the abdomen about 2:50 a.m. in the 2500-block of West Adams Street, police said. No other information was available.
A man was killed in a Sunday afternoon shooting on Chicago's West Side, prompting a SWAT response, police said. The shooting happened in the Lawndale neighborhood's 3800-block of West Arthington Street at about 4:15 p.m., police said. A 20-year-old man was walking westbound when four people approached him and fired shots, striking him in the face.
Another man was killed in a Saturday night shooting on Chicago's Far South Side, police said.
The shooting happened in the Golden Gate neighborhood's 13000-block of South Champlain Avenue at about 9:19 p.m., police said. A 20-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk when someone fired shots.
In non-fatal attacks, two teenagers were shot Saturday night as hundreds of youths streamed through downtown streets, prompting a heavy police response that resulted in more than a dozen arrests. The boys, 16 and 17, were among the large unruly crowd about 9 p.m. in the 100-block of East Washington Street when shots were fired, police said. The younger boy was shot in the right arm, and the other boy was shot in the left leg. Both were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where they were listed in fair condition.
A 14-year-old boy was wounded in a shooting Friday night after another large group of teens gathered at 31st Street Beach.
Last weekend, at least 20 people were shot, three fatally.

Lives Matter
Batted .250 this weekend, not bad.
No one cares about those black lives
Pretty weak for a spring weekend, how or what can we do to get those numbers up by a factor of 10? If we could, it might be worth it to install a bunch of cameras and get a dedicated YouTube channel so the world can watch the carnage LIVE while still touting Democrat Values.
Azhos that couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn wastin’ ammunition again. Congress needs to pass a “common sense” bill limiting Chicagoans to the number of rounds they can buy each month.
Was just going to say the same thing. Either aim is improving or number of rounds down range is way up. Guess we'll have to wait for the Shotspotter data.
Kind of a so-so weekend for Chicago. Philly can match that kind of output.
Must be getting their range time in.
Chicago has a murder/homicide rate of about 30 murders per 100K inhabitants.
In contrast - other world cities
Mumbai: 1.01 per 100K inhabitants
Tokyo: 0.26
Warsaw 0.71
Lagos: 22.00
Paris: 1.20
London: 1.45
New York: 3.5
Rio De Janeiro: 27.4
Mexico City: 10.9
Dallas: 14.6
Strangely enough the Americas absolutely dominate the homicide rates — the top 50 murderous cities in the world has only 4 that are NOT in the Americas.
This weekend Chicago was more dangerous than:
Beirut
Gaza City
Damascus
Bangkok
Manila
Mexico City
Kyiv
Higher average than the White Sox or Cubs.
Let’s Go Brandon!
Poor shot placement numbers.
Holding they Glocks sideways wiff da high-caps an’ da happy switches can’t be good for accuracy.
Black Lives Matter was sloganeering by self admitted trained Marxists used to make money off of the crowds as well as advance the destruction of society and the nation.
I have lost track. Was this a good weekend in Chicago?
Nice photo - White liberals protesting for fewer police.
Not pictured: Black people slavishly repeating the slogans — and suffering the consequences.
Gun violence? How about black teen violence?
