CHICAGO (CBS) -- At least 3 people were killed and 17 others were injured in weekend shootings across Chicago as of Sunday. The victims' ages range from 18 to 46. 

In the first shooting of the weekend, a 22-year-old man was walking through an alley in the 4800 block of West Arthington Friday night just after 9 p.m. when shots were fired. He suffered a graze wound to the right leg and was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition, police say. 

Two suspects are injured after an attempted carjacking early Saturday morning. A 26-year-old man was working as a rideshare driver and dropping off a fare just after 1 a.m. in the 1500 block of South Millard when a man and woman walked up to him and announced a robbery. The man took the victim's cell phone and fired shots as he fled. 

The victim, a valid concealed carry license holder, returned fire, striking both suspects. The 20-year-old man was transported to Stroger Hospital in good condition with a gunshot wound to the right leg.
