CHICAGO (CBS) At least 24 people were shot over weekend across Chicago, four of them fatally.
The first homicide of the weekend happened around 12:20 a.m. Saturday in the Calumet Heights neighborhood. Police said two men, ages 31 and 32, were on the sidewalk near 92nd Street and Blackstone Avenue they were shot.
The 32-year-old man was shot three times in the chest, and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The 31-year-old man was shot in the neck and shoulder, and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. Police said the victims could not provide any details about the shooter.
Two men were fatally wounded, and at least five others were injured in shootings since Friday afternoon on the South and West sides, Chicago police said.
More than a month after a witness implicated an off-duty Chicago cop in a vicious beating, no charges have been filed against the 19-year police veteran who has a checkered history with the department.
