        Two people were shot about 9:35 p.m. on the 5500 block of West Corcoran Place, according to a Chicago Police Department release.

                August 24, 2012

                Nineteen people were shot across the South and West sides from Thursday evening through early Friday morning -- 13 of them wounded over a 30-minute period, authorities say.

                The overnight shootings peaked between 9:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. That's when eight people, many of them teens, were shot at 79th Street and Essex Avenue about 9:30 p.m.

                Then two men were wounded in the Ida B. Wells / Darrow Homes complex at about 9:25 p.m., police said. The men, 27 and 33, were shot in the 600 block of East 37th Street and taken to the University of Chicago Hospitals, police said.

                About 15 minutes later, a 24-year-old man was shot in the leg and taken to Jackson Park Hospital from the 7200 block of South Jeffery Boulevard, Gaines said. He was treated and released. The man told police he was talking on his phone when he heard a single shot and realized he was wounded.

                Earlier Thursday evening, four men were wounded in a shooting in the Little Village neighborhood about 5:20 p.m. Thursday, police said.

                They were walking in the 3200 block of South Kedzie Avenue when at least one person inside a vehicle with three others opened fire, police said, hitting the group. Three 19-year-olds and a 22-year-old were wounded.

                Just after midnight, a 17-year-old was shot in the back and taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said. He was walking in the 7100 block of South Vincennes Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood when someone inside a passing car opened fire, police said.

                Another 17-year-old was shot after 1:30 a.m. Friday in the 3500 block of West Grenshaw Street in the Homan Square neighborhood. He's in good condition at Mount Sinai Hospital. Someone walked to him and started shooting, police said.

                  CHICAGO (WLS) - At least 24 people have been shot – two fatally – around the city since Friday night.

                  The shootings include:

                  A 38-year-old man man who was found slumped over the wheel of his vehicle, dead of multiple gunshot wounds, near an elementary school in the South Side Calumet Heights neighborhood early Sunday.

About 5 a.m., the woman was found dead on the scene in an apartment at Broadway and Montrose, police said. A man with lacerations to his face was also in the apartment. Police did not immediately have any additional details on this incident Sunday morning.

                  The non-fatal shootings include:

                  A gunman opened fire at a group early Sunday in the Northwest Side Belmont Craigin neighborhood, critically wounding one man in the apparently gang-related shooting.

                  The man, 22, was standing with the group of people about 1:35 in the 5000 block of West Montana Street when the gunman started shooting, police said. He was shot multiple times in the chest and was in critical condition at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Authorities said the attack appears to be gang-related.

                  A 25-year-old man leaving a bar in the River North area early Saturday who was shot when a suspect on a bicycle attempted to rob him, police said.

                  The man was leaving a bar in the 700 block of North Franklin Street at 3:15 a.m. when a male on a bicycle approached and announced a robbery, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. The suspect then shot the man and fled on the bike but he didn’t get anything from the man, Greer said.

                  He was taken in good condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.

                  About 4 a.m. Saturday, a man was shot in the West Town neighborhood. The victim, in his 20s, was shot in the abdomen in the 1100 block of North Western Avenue, according to police. He was in “stable” condition at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, police said.

                  About 10:40 p.m. on Friday, a man and a woman were shot during an argument on the Near West Side.

                  They were in the 100 block of North Damen Avenue at 10:42 p.m. when they got into an argument with an unknown male, who took out a handgun and opened fire in their direction, police said.

                  Both the man, 23, and the woman, 25, were shot in the leg and taken to Stroger Hospital in “stable” condition, police said. The woman suffered gunshot wounds to both legs, police said.

                  The shooting happened a couple blocks from the United Center and close to the Suder Montessori Magnet School -- which serves students in preschool to 5th grade -- at Washington Boulevard and Damen Avenue.

                  The male victim has a gang affiliation and a criminal record, according to a law enforcement source.

                  Since Wednesday night, shootings in Chicago have left at least 49 people wounded, including those who have been killed. Since last Thursday, at least 110 people have been wounded, which includes those dead, in Chicago from gun violence.

                      2 Dead, 17 Wounded In Weekend Shootings


                      August 18, 2012 11:00 AM


                      CHICAGO (STMW) – Two men were killed and at least 17 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago late Friday into early Saturday.

                      The weekend’s first fatal shooting killed a 22-year-old Aurora man and wounded another person in the West Side Austin neighborhood, according to authorities.

                      Richard Johnson, of the 1600 block of Plum Street in Aurora, was killed in the shooting in the 500 block of South Kilpatrick Avenue at about 6:22 p.m., according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

                      He was initially taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, where he later died, authorities said. Another man, whose age is unknown, was also injured in the shooting and taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in serious condition.

                      An 18-year-old man was shot and killed just a block from his West Pullman home on the Far South Side about 12:15 a.m., authorities said. Derrick L. Baker, of the 11600 block of South Yale Avenue, was shot in the head near 115th street and Wentworth Avenue, according to the medical examiner’s office.

                      He was dead at the scene, officials said. The attack also wounded a 25-year-old man, who was treated at Roseland Hospital in “stable” condition for gunshot wounds to the knee and foot.

                      Shootings across the city left 15 other people wounded, mostly men in their late teens or early 20s who are listed in good or “stable” condition.

                      However, at least two men shot early Saturday remain in critical condition, and four other men were seriously wounded, according to authorities.

                      One, a 26-year-old man, was walking with another man to a store when they heard gunfire in the 3300 block of West Cullom Avenue, in the Northwest Side Irving Park community.

                      He was shot multiple times and taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, police said. The other man, 21, was shot multiple times in the leg and is listed in “stable” condition at Swedish Covenant Hospital.

                      Another man is in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak lawn after he and two other people were shot at 3:32 a.m. in the 6900 block of South Bishop Street, police said. The man, 23, was shot multiple times in the neck, arm and chest.

                      A 20-year-old man was shot in the arm and shoulder and taken in serious condition to Stroger Hospital, while a 17-year-old boy shot in the leg is listed in good condition at Christ Hospital, police said.

                      That teenager and another 17-year-old boy hurt in a separate attack were the weekend’s youngest shooting victims.

                      The other teen was shot in the foot at 12:46 a.m. while he was in the 2800 block of North Mason Avenue in the Belmont Craigin neighborhood on the city’s Northwest Side, police said. He was treated in good condition at Our Lady of the Resurrection Hospital.

                      No one is in custody for any of the shootings as of early Saturday.
