[Chicago Tribune] Thirteen people were shot in Chicago over 11 hours between Wednesday evening and early Thursday, including two triple-shootings on the West Side, according to police. A man between 45 and 50 was found shot to death in the 11100 block of South Ashland Avenue in the Morgan Park neighborhood around 5 a.m. Thursday, police said.

In the Pilsen neighborhood, a 41-year-old man was seriously wounded about 1 a.m. Thursday in the 1900 block of South Peoria Street, police said. A woman, who did not want to be identified, woke up early Thursday to the sound of gunshots. She looked outside, saw a man on the sidewalk and called 911. After police arrived, she went outside and gave the man a glass of water after he said he was thirsty. Paramedics lifted the man, who had been shot in the chest, and placed him on a stretcher. He held onto his cellphone as the paramedics put into the ambulance. He was taken in serious condition to Stroger Hospital. A man who had been with the victim declined to comment.
