According to the Chicago-Sun Times, four people were murdered over the weekend in Chicago, and 34 people were seriously injured from shootings, including a 9-year-old boy. The 9-year-old who was shot was hit by a bullet around 8 pm on Saturday (May 20) in the Marquette Park section of the Southwest side of Chicago. According to a police report, the young man was riding in a car when an unknown shooter began to fire off rounds in the direction of the car. Police noted that the child's head was grazed by a bullet, and that he was taken to the Holy Cross Hospital where he was confirmed to be in good condition. The police think that the shooting may have been caused by a previous incident between the shooter and the driver of the car.
