A string of mass shootings Sunday morning helped contribute to the bloodiest weekend of the year in Chicago, leaving at least 12 people killed and 54 others wounded in shootings since Friday evening.
Police said there were a total of 33 shooting incidents from 6 p.m. Friday through midnight Sunday night, with 66 total victims, including 12 murders. Fourteen of the shooting victims were juveniles, including two who died.
Authorities said dozens were shot in six mass shootings during a seven-hour span early Sunday, with at least four people shot in each of those attacks. Those six shootings alone left a combined three people dead and 28 others wounded.
