CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 98 people have been shot, 17 fatally, in gun violence across Chicago since Wednesday evening during the extended Fourth of July holiday weekend, police said.
A security alert was issued by the University of Chicago Sunday morning after three men were shot on a sidewalk in front of the adult hospital's emergency room right after 5 a.m. Witnesses reported that the gunshots were fired from a dark-colored SUV.
The shooting is one of several that happened overnight.
A man died in an exchange of gunfire Saturday night in South Shore.
The 25-year-old was walking on train tracks about 8:50 p.m. near the 1700-block of East 71st Street when two people approached him and exchanged gunfire with him, Chicago police said.
The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his body and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died, police said.

since I’ve had a few classes and lots of practice, I can’t bear TV shows and movies.
One day, someone will have to suspend civil liberties and declare martial law to combat crime in the cities. If that someone turns out to be Trump, the “dictator” meme will have become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Chaos equals satanic briliance.

Still not the results I’ve been looking for. Some cities are averaging over 20% kill ratio. C’mon Chicago, you can do better.
How many were shot at and missed?
WOW! 98 Shot is that a New record.
And Amazingly all 98 shot with Stolen Guns, Zero cases of Self Defense
“Holiday weekend gun violence.” Sounds vibrant and festive!
Maybe a few hundred police retirement parties real soon?
Someday, good men are going to wade into those piles of trash selling dope and such on street corners and sweep them clean with no mercy. It will happen.
Yeah, those darn white supremecists roaming around the colored neighborhoods at night taking pot shots at the folks.
It’s four hours to midnight. We can get to 100 folks!
Weekends not over yet.
Weekend isn’t over yet!
Wow, they updated it by 10 shot just from the time I wrote it in tomorrow’s “Today’s News.”
They’re getting there. Must be all those new illegals showing up and infringing on gang territory.
From 57 to 98 at the end of the weekend, nice job racist idiot makeup man mayor! Only blacks’ can shoot and kill black’s and its ok
Where is BLM when you need them?
