At least 20 people were shot, one of them fatally, Friday into Saturday evening across Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the shooting fatality occurred during a drive-by incident Friday about 6 p.m.
A group of people were gathered outside a home “in the 3300 block of West Flournoy Street” Friday, when a vehicle drove by and someone inside of it opened fire. A 33-year-old man was struck by numerous bullets and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Four other people were injured in the drive-by shooting, and all four were taken to the hospital in good condition.
The Sun-Times maintains a database which shows that 423 were killed in Chicago January 1, 2022, through August, 20, 2022.
