Gun Violence Continues in Chicago With 14 People Shot Overnight In Four-Hour Period

SHOCK: The violence continues in Chicago. At least 14 people were shot and wounded in Chicago overnight in a four-hour period. Seven of the victims were shot in a single incident on the city's West Side. According to Fire Media Affairs Dir. Larry Langford, six people were initially hospitalized in critical condition and one person, an adult man, was taken in stable condition after suffering a graze wound. He said that one person was found shot inside a grocery store and the six others were found within a half-block radius of the store. All victims were males ranging in ages from 15 to 28.

There's more. A woman standing with her baby in a stroller and two other people were shot within 20 minutes in separate incidents on the South and West sides.

Langford said, in an interview, that in the South Shore neighborhood a 22-year-old man was shot in the hand and suffered a minor head wound at 7700 S. Avalon Ave. That shooting was reportedly preceded by a carjacking during which five suspects approached the victim and physically removed him from his vehicle at gunpoint.
