A long Fourth of July weekend led to an outbreak of shootings and violence in Chicago. At least 82 were shot and at least 14 are dead after gunfire shook up the city, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The Fourth of July fell on a Friday this year, giving a long weekend to residents in Chicago. Unfortunately, the violence started first thing Friday morning with the first shooting taking place at about 2:30 a.m.

Corey Hudson, a 34-year-old male, was killed after a car pulled up to him and a shooter inside fired at him and his friend. Additionally, the ABC News station in Chicago WLS-TV reported there were three police-involved shootings on July 4 and at least one died in those shootings.

WLS-TV adds that the most recent shooting took place Sunday night.

2012 was a bloody year in Chicago, as it was the only city in the U.S. to record more than 500 murders. Since then, the city has tried to fight violence and gangs.

Police have been sent to high-crime areas and city leaders have worked with government to try to combat the violence and crime. 2013 saw murders fall to 415. It's still higher than most U.S. cities, even New York City (less than 350 murders) which is three times the size.

"We will keep building on our strategy, putting more officers on the street in summer months, proactively intervening in gang conflicts, partnering with community leaders," Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in a statement.

The Associated Press reports that Chicago's murders as of June 30 are nine less than up to the same time period last year.

So far this year, 1,129 people have been shot in Chicago according to the Chicago Tribune. In July 2013, 58 homicides occurred in Chicago.
