Authorities said that five people died and two police officers were wounded in the different shooting incidents in the city. The different shooting incidents happened between Friday evening and Saturday morning and more than a dozen hurt according to the published report in Fox News.

The following are the five victims of the deadly shootings and gun violence in the city:

  • A 19-year-old man was fatally shot around 7 p.m. Friday by a man who got out of an SUV and hit him in the chest and stomach. He was pronounced dead at a hospital
  • Just 20 minutes after the first shooting incident, a 39-year-old man was killed in a drive-by shooting while he sat on a porch with two others. He was hit multiple times in the legs and pronounced dead at a hospital.
  • A 21-year-old was killed in a separate drive-by shooting as he walked out of a gas station mini-mart. He was pronounced dead at a hospital after being hit multiple times.
  • A woman was also killed after she was shot in the stomach by an unknown killer while walking on a sidewalk with another woman.
  • According to a report in ABC7 Chicago, a 40-year-old man was also fatally shot after 3:00 p.m on Saturday

The news media outlet FOX32 confirmed that four other people were shot in the city. Meanwhile, NBC Chicago also reported that no arrest was made in line with the different shootings in the city.

Lawrence Jones, who is a host from a media outlet, said earlier this month that people are in despair and it seems that no one cares about the rampant violence in the city that also led to the death of young children recently.
