Chicago's first warm weekend of 2019 ended with 24 shootings across the city and five murders, according to police
It was the first warm weekend in Chicago, and just as feared, violence spiked, with 24 shootings across the city and five murders, police said.
The count began Friday at 6 p.m. and ran though Sunday. In one incident, two children were among several people injured at a baby shower, Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The children were in stable condition midday Monday. "We know that two men in dark clothing approached the family gathering which we believe was a baby shower and opened fire," Guglielmi said. "The shooters fled the area on foot," he added.
