At least 20 people — including a 15-year-old boy shot during an armed robbery attempt — were wounded in weekend shootings across the city.
The bloodiest single shooting since Friday night happened in the South Side Englewood neighborhood about 6:35 p.m. Saturday when four men were shot in a gas station parking lot, police said.
The four men — all in their 20s and 30s — were all listed in good or “stable” condition at area hospitals early Sunday, despite two of them suffering gunshot wounds to the chest, police said.
Police are seeking a shooter or shooters who fired from a small black vehicle, and no one is in custody early Sunday, police said.
The youngest victim was a 15-year-old boy shot by an armed robber early Saturday in the South Side Calumet Heights neighborhood, police said. He was walking down the 9300 block of South Anthony Avenue at 12:45 a.m. when a stranger pointed a handgun at him and announced a robbery.
The boy was shot in the leg while running away, police said. He was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital in good condition.

I’m sure these numbers will go down once school starts. Then all the youths will spend their free time doing homework and studying for tests. /s
“the devout African American Christian grandmothers”
With the number of black churches we have in our city there should be no black crime. A friend, a former cop, said the good Christian act lasted until the new TV and stereo came in the door.
.....Or to put it this way, those good Christians in the minority communites, once they got enough money, decided to go live in the suburbs where it was safer for them and their families.
How can this be possible in a city with no gun stores, or gun shows? Are you sure this isn’t Dallas, or Oklahoma City? Lots of gun shows there.
It is surely time for Christian grandmas to stand up for moral order before things get any worse!
The Left is calling for a crack down on the freedoms of the innocent in the name of the feral and criminal and that will only hurt the country and, ultimately, black Americans.
The Left is the only side proclaiming and organizing for their “solutions” to the violence in the cities; one being ending self defense and the constitution’s second amendment.
