The Chicago-area saw six shootings Saturday that killed three people and wounded at least four others, including a man who died in the same block where another person was shot to death less than a day ago.
The gun violence lasted from about 1:15 a.m. until 10:45 p.m. and began when a man showed up at Stroger Hospital in serious condition.
At 1:12 a.m., a 28-year-old man was brought to Stroger Hospital and was unable to speak due to the bullet lodged in his shoulder, according to Chicago police.
His friend was unable to provide officers with details about the shooting but said the man was picked up in the 0 to 100 block of North Kilbourn Avenue, police said.
Officers scoured the West Side address his friend provided but were unable to find a crime scene.
Before dawn, two shootings struck the River North neighborhood just as the bars nearby were winding down. About 4 a.m., a 23-year-old man was shot while parked inside his vehicle near the River North intersection of Ontario and LaSalle.
He was arguing with a male driver in the 600 block of North LaSalle Drive when the other person flashed a handgun and fired a round of shots into his car, according to police. Bullets grazed the neck of the 23-year-old, who declined medical treatment on the scene, police said. He was in good condition. The shooter, a male driving a black sports-utility vehicle, remains at large.
A few blocks west, a 22-year-old man was found shot half an hour earlier in the same neighborhood. Police said the two shootings were unrelated. At 3:28 a.m., officers responded to a call about a shooting and found the man wounded on the ground in the 300 block of West Ontario Street.
The man had one bullet lodged in his leg and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, police said. He did not provide additional information about who shot him, and officers have not found witnesses willing to share details about the shooting either.
