Three people were killed and at least 41 people were hurt in Chicago weekend shootings, according to the police department.

Chicago police said between 6 p.m. Friday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday, there were 22 shootings in which 41 people were shot, and three of those people were killed.

Shootings from Friday

The first shooting of the weekend happened just before 7 p.m. in the 3700 block of West Chicago Avenue. That's where police say a 26-year-old man was near a commercial business when he was approached by an unknown vehicle, and multiple occupants from within pulled out guns and fired shots at him.

The victim was shot in the abdomen and was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in good condition.

Then just before 8 p.m., a 28-year-old man was shot in the right shoulder in the 4500 block of West North Avenue.

According to CPD, the victim was outside when he heard a loud noise, felt pain, and realized he had suffered a gunshot wound. The victim was treated on scene by fire crews and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in fair condition.

CPD said the victim told officers that he believed the shots were fired from an apartment. SWAT was notified and responded to the scene, which was later cleared the scene without incident.

No arrests were made and no other injuries were reported.
