At least 32 people were shot, three of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.

ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the first fatal shooting occurred Sunday around 1 a.m., when 27-year-old Santos Rodriguez was shot while in “the 3700-block of West Division Street.”

Rodriguez was taken to a hospital where he died.

At 8 a.m. Sunday, two men–a 25-year-old and a 30-year-old–were “in the 3100-block of West Redfield Drive” when someone shot them. The 25 year-old survived the incident but the 30-year-old was killed.

Around 6 p.m. Sunday a 20-year-old standing on the sidewalk “in the 1900-block of South St. Louis Avenue” was shot and killed.  The gunmen opened fire from inside a passing vehicle.
