21 shot, four dead, over weekend in Chicago – down from previous weekend

At least 21 people, including four fatally, were shot over the weekend in Chicago, officials said Monday.

The total was down from the previous weekend – 31 shooting and seven dead – amid a winter storm that arrived in the Midwest on Friday dumped roughly a foot of snow on the city. 

The four people killed this past weekend were in vehicle when fatally shot, according to the Chicago-Sun Times. Another man pulled his car over on a city block and two individuals approached the vehicle and began firing. Among them was a 19-year-old who was shot by someone he knew after having pulled over to talk to the person. Another was fatally shot while driving on a ramp-way.

Of the 17 other victims, several were shot in the leg and transported to the Chicago Medical Center with less severe wounds.
