Overview
- Over the weekend, Chicago police said at least seven people were wounded in several shootings across the West and Southwest sides of the city.
- In Little Village, a white sedan pulled up near West 26th Street and South Pulaski Road just before 11:15 p.m. and someone inside fired on four men who were exiting a building, and all four were taken to Mount Sinai in good condition.
- Near Loretto Hospital in South Austin, an SUV pulled up near South Central Avenue and West Harrison Street around 2:30 a.m. and gunfire left a 45‑year‑old man critically wounded while three other victims were taken to nearby hospitals in good condition.
- Witnesses reported vehicles fleeing both scenes and Chicago police have not announced public arrests in the two drive‑by attacks as Area Four detectives and other units continue gathering evidence and requesting tips from the public.
- The weekend’s violence follows similar clusters in recent months and has placed repeated strain on nearby hospitals such as Mount Sinai, Loretto and Stroger while keeping pressure on police to identify suspects and prevent further attacks.
