CHICAGO -- Four people are dead and 19 others have been wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend.

The weekend was less violent than the one prior, as a winter storm dumped nearly a foot of snow over the city Saturday and Sunday. Last weekend, 31 people were shot and seven were killed between 5 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday.

A 17-year-old boy was shot early Saturday in Little Village on the West Side.

He was sitting in a parked vehicle about 2:55 a.m. in the 3400 block of West 23rd Street when he heard shots and felt pain, police said. The boy suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and brought himself to Saint Anthony Hospital where he was listed in good condition, police said.

A man was killed in a shooting Saturday on a ramp to the Kennedy Expressway on the Northwest Side.

The man was traveling on the ramp about 8:55 p.m. from Division Street to Interstate 90 when someone fired shots from another vehicle, Illinois State Police said.

The man veered off the road, traveled up an embankment and crashed, state police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Autopsy results released Sunday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide, the Cook County medical examiner's office said. His identity has not been released.

You’ll have to wait until the snow melts to know for sure.

Seems fishy. Chicagoans need to work on their marksmansship.

I can remember a time in the early 70s when the casualty count from Viet Nam was on par with this.

Not to blame the victim but what was the ‘boy’ doing sitting in a parked car at 3 in the morning?

23 shot, 4 dead across the city in democrat land it’s called normal.

What was the final count for Chicago for 2020???

He worked third shift and was on his lunch break.

[gundog]

In a city of 2.6 million, that’s mostly peaceful.

Things really slow down in winter time.
