The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the first fatality occurred Friday 6:50 p.m., when someone walked up to a car "in the 3100 block of West Lake Street" and opened fire. An unidentified man died in the attack.

ABC 7/Sun-Times noted the second fatality occurred at 3:05 p.m. Saturday, when 27-year-old Darrell Holiday Jr. was shot multiple times and killed.

A Chicago police officer was also shot over the weekend. Officers responded to a report of shots fired around 11:30 a.m. Saturday and came under fire once they arrived on scene. An officer was shot in the hand during the gunfire, taken to a hospital, then released.

Breitbart News noted a Chicago Police Sergeant was shot last Sunday while standing in the parking lot of the Gresham District cop shoppe. ABC7 explained that the officer heard a gunshot around 2:45 p.m., then felt pain in his chin. He was taken to the hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot injury.

#4 Chicago weekend reporting is not officially over.

Per our favorite mayhem aggregator, "8:00p Peaceful Tally: 4 killed, 21 wounded"

That leaves 4 more hours of uncollected data.

#5 /\ The additional 4 hours of tabulation is encouraging. Keep in mind however, these figures only represent known or reported shootings. Non-firearms related violence and death could boost the casualty figures significantly.

The culling fields? Book or movie title? Probably not.

#8 ^ Well, yeah. Better control would turn some of those wounded numbers to kills.

Your wheel numbering doesn't go high enough.

I can't repeat this enough.

Chicago has one of the RESTRICTIVE set of Gun Control laws of any US City of the books.

All the laws have done is DISARM Citizens not criminals.
