As Memorial Day weekend comes to a close, authorities have confirmed that at least six people have been killed and 11 wounded in Chicago gun violence this weekend.
Among the dead is a 42-year-old man who was shot in the head early Sunday. Police are now investigating the death of Charles Jones, as well as the car crash that sent a woman to the hospital, which is said to have initiated the shooting.
According to the Associated Press, the other fatalities are as followed:
Also killed Sunday was a man in his late 20s who was shot in the armpit and pronounced dead at a suburban hospital.
Two people were killed in shootings Saturday, including 18-year-old Fearro Denard and a 29-year-old man who was shot not far from President Barack Obama’s South Side home.
On Friday, a 17-year-old and 22-year old were killed in separate shootings.
This senseless and foolish violence has to stop! Our prayers and condolences to the city of Chicago.
