At least 15 people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the first of the two fatal shootings was discovered Saturday morning around 12:30 a.m., when officers found a 39-year-old man with a gunshot wound on the ground “in the 4900-block of West Hubbard Street.”
The man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Just after noon on Saturday a 32-year-old man was standing “in the 5200-block of West Adams Street” when at least one person inside a sedan opened fire, striking him numerous times.
The 32-year-old was transported to a hospital where he later died.
