(CBS) -- At least 14 people were killed and 38 others have been wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday evening.
The weekend’s latest homicide happened about 3:15 a.m. Sunday in the Old Town neighborhood on the Near North Side.
Two 17-year-old boys were standing outside in the 1300 block of North Hudson, when a dark-colored vehicle drove by and someone inside opened fire, according to Chicago Police.
One teenager was shot in the chest and back and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The other boy suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and head and was also taken to Northwestern, where he was listed in critical condition.
About 15 minutes earlier, a 19-year-old man was killed and a 40-year-old man was wounded in a Near West Side shooting.
The men were in a car at 2:59 a.m. in the 2100 block of West Jackson when someone walked up and fired shots in their direction, police said.
The driver tried to speed away, but their vehicle struck a parked vehicle before coming to a rest. The younger man suffered several gunshot wounds to the back and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Con't.
[CNN] The quake struck 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) north of Norcia, the US Geological Survey reported.
• Fire and rescue services said six people had been pulled from rubble in Norcia.
• There were no immediate reports of deaths -- many residents had not returned since a devastating quake in August.
• There have been about 200 aftershocks since Sunday's quake in the border area between the Marche and Umbria regions, according to National Institute for Geophysics and Vulcanology.
• Some villages are cut off, so the impact there has not been assessed, said Fabrizio Curcio, the civil protection chief.
• Some 15,000 people are without electricity, according to Curcio.
• Much of the Basilica of San Benedetto in Norcia collapsed.
