(chicago sun-times) Fifty-six people were shot, eight of them fatally, in citywide gun violence this weekend. Six of the wounded were 15 years old or younger.
The youngest homicide victim, a 7-year-old girl, was killed in a shooting Sunday afternoon that also wounded her younger sister.
Serenity Broughton, 7, and her 6-year-old sister were being placed in the backseat of a car by their mother when gunfire rang out about 2:50 p.m. in the 6200 block of West Grand Avenue, Chicago police said.
The 7-year-old was shot in her chest and torso and pronounced dead at a hospital, police said. Police said her younger sister was “fighting for her life” at Loyola University Medical Center.
Other weekend homicides:
A 70-year-old woman was fatally shot early Monday in Hegewisch on the Far South Side. The woman was parked in her car just after 4:25 a.m. in the 13300 block of South Baltimore Avenue when two males approached and fired shots, police said. She was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where she was pronounced dead. Her name was not released.

These weekends are fast in furious but always have been so in Chicago. Just listen to the police scanner for a while and you will "get it".
