In a series of violent incidents across Chicago, multiple gunshot victims were reported over the weekend, highlighting a surge in gun violence. A boy was shot in the north suburbs early Saturday morning, according to the Cook County Sheriff's Office. Community First Hospital and Stroger Hospital received gunshot victims, with injuries ranging from GSWs to the arm, abdomen, and a GSW to the hand. One of the victims at Stroger Hospital was identified as a Sheriff. Another incident involved a 30yo male Black with 2 GSWs to the lower leg, possibly occurring near a BP gas station on Lake Park. Additionally, a second innocent bystander died following a shooting on Chicago's South Side that initially injured four people, including a suspect. The South Loop area witnessed particularly severe violence, where a large teen gathering led to two critical injuries from a shooting near Canal and Roosevelt. The situation escalated to the point where SWAT was called in, and 2 individuals were detained. Tragically, one teenager died from the injuries sustained in the South Loop shooting. In response to the chaos, an emergency plan was activated by the Chicago Police Department.
