7 killed and at least 46 wounded in Chicago over weekend

While news of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton understandably dominated the national news, sadly it was yet another violent weekend in Chicago.

Over the weekend seven people were shot to death and at least another 46 were wounded in the city.

The worst shooting was early Sunday morning on the West Side where seven people were wounded near a playground.  Four of those victims were taken to nearby Mount Sinai Hospital, which later in the day stopped accepting patients because the ER was overloaded.
