At least six people were hurt in weekend shootings across Chicago, according to Chicago police.
The ages of the victims range from 18 to 46.
Shootings from Friday
The first shooting of the weekend happened around 10 p.m. in the 2000 block of West 52nd Street. Police said a 23-year-old man was shot in the left leg and was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in good condition.
The victim was uncooperative in providing details to responding officers.
Later, around 10:42 p.m., officers responded to a call of a walk-in person shot at St. Mary's Hospital. The victim, a 32-year-old man, told the officers that the initial incident happened on Thursday. He was inside a residence in the 7300 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue when he was involved in an argument that turned into a fight with a known suspect who pulled out a gun and shot at him.
The victim was grazed in the back by the gunfire and self-transported himself to St. Mary's Hospital on Friday in good condition. It is unclear what time the victim arrived at the hospital.
Then, around 10:45 p.m., in the 1200 block of North Harding Avenue, a 20-year-old man was inside his vehicle when he was approached by a dark-colored SUV occupied by unknown male suspects. One of them in the rear seat pulled out a gun and shot in the victim's direction.
