CRIME WAVE | 32 shot in city, six of them fatally, since Friday
In gang-related drive-bys, an attempted robbery and other flashes of violence, some 37 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend -- seven of them fatally.
A 26-year-old was killed in his home, two teens on the same South Side street, another man as he sat in the office of his plumbing business.
Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis (right) speaks at a press conference about the number of shootings and stabbings that occurred in the city over the weekend.
Chicago Police officials acknowledged that the nearly three dozen shootings were high for a short time frame but not unusual when the mercury starts rising.
“Although our recent crime data released on Friday showed that murders and shootings are slightly down, as you all know, one shooting, one murder is one too many,” Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said Sunday.
