Tuesday, 2 July 2013

 
One person was killed and at least 23 others were injured in weekend shootings across Chicago, including a drive-by shooting that left six people injured in the city's Uptown neighborhood.
The weekend's most recent shooting took place in the city's West Englewood Sunday evening when a young mother and her 2-year-old son were shot, police said. 
The shooting occurred just before 6 p.m. in the 1700 block of West 73rd Street, according to authorities.
The 27-year-old mother was shot in the arm and her young son suffered a gunshot wound to leg, police said. The mother was taken to Holy Cross Hospital and her son was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.
Both were listed in stable condition as of Sunday night, officials said.
The first shooting to occur during the weekend took place Friday evening.
Five ambulances responded to the scene and a total of six people were injured, officials said. All were in good condition, according to a police spokesperson.
Nearly two hours later, an 18-year-old man was shot around 9:08 p.m. Friday in the 2800 block of West Arthington Street in the Lawndale neighborhood.
The teen was standing on the sidewalk when a male offender approached on foot and shot him in the groin, back and neck, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala.
He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where his condition was not known, Zala said.
