According to Chicago Tribune
At least 106 people were shot in Chicago, 14 of them fatally, from midafternoon Friday through early Monday, according to authorities and Tribune data.
It is the most people shot in one weekend since at least 2012 but not the deadliest this year, after more than 20 were killed over the last weekend in May, according to data compiled by the Tribune. Twelve of those shot this past weekend were younger than 18 years old. Five of those children died.
Six shootings involved three or more victims. One drive-by shooting early Monday in the East Garfield Park neighborhood injured five, including a 16-year-old girl who was left in critical condition.
The Austin District, where 3-year-old Mekhi James was fatally shot Saturday afternoon, had the most shooting victims: 18.
Monday afternoon, a somber Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said there are too many violent felons on the streets and made vague accusations about a failed electronic monitoring system to explain the exceptionally violent weekend.
Brown, in one of his first news conferences in the wake of a violent Chicago weekend, spoke of the devastation.
