20 Weekend Shootings Reported in Chicago

In a recently-released FBI rundown of America’s most dangerous cities, Chicago didn’t even make the top five. But you wouldn’t know it based on the city’s police reports, which show 20 people were shot over the weekend.

The rash of violence began Friday when five people were shot — one fatally — in separate incidents; another person died and seven others were injured on Saturday; and a third person died in seven shootings reported on Sunday. In one of the incidents, a 62-year-old man was selling corn in a neighborhood on the South Side when he heard gunfire — and then realized he’d been shot in the stomach, police say.

The tally represents an increase over the previous weekend, when one person was killed and 14 were injured in separate shooting incidents in the Windy City.
