One person is dead and at least 13 people have been injured in shootings across the city of Chicago this weekend.
Just after 8:30 a.m. Sunday in the 1200 block of West Garfield Boulevard, a man was walking across the street when two men approached him and fired multiple shots at him, striking him twice in the chest, according to police.
A ShotSpotter alert summoned police to the scene, and when officers arrived they found the man lying unresponsive on the pavement.
The man was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
Police believe the incident was captured on the dashboard camera of a Pace bus, and are continuing to investigate the shooting.
Early Saturday morning in the 900 block of East 79th Street, a total of seven people were shot after an altercation occurred at a party inside a residence, according to Chicago police.
After people had exited the residence, a gray Dodge Charger pulled up outside of the building and a person fired multiple shots at the group, striking a total of seven individuals.
