CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 45 people have been shot, one fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.

Two teenage boys and a man were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Austin neighborhood Friday evening.

They were standing near the sidewalk around 7:30 p.m. in the 5500-block of West Quincy Street when a black Kia drove by and someone from inside opened fire, Chicago police said.

About an hour later, six men were shot on Chicago's West Side, police said.

The men were on the street when multiple suspects opened fire, police said.

Three other men, 39, 33 and 38 years old, were shot in their legs and are expected to be OK.

No one is in custody. CPD detectives are investigating.

Minutes later, a 12-year-old boy was shot while riding his bike on the city's South Side, police said.

Last weekend, at least 29 people were shot, four fatally, in gun violence across the city, police said.

How does a sentient being explain a democrat’s logic?

Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

Has it stopped the violence, bloodshed, killing? No.

And yet, the democrats are out there trying to turn the rest
of the nation into Chicago, to fix things.

Give us four years of the democrats no longer being able to
fix things. PLEASE!
