Two dead and at least 20 wounded over weekend in Chicago

Meanwhile there are Chicago police officers at every road entrance--I was in the city yesterday--at the city's long stretch of lakefront parks.

From Fox Chicago:
Twenty people have been shot, two of them fatally, in Chicago this weekend.

The latest fatal shooting killed a man Sunday in Austin on the West Side.

The 31-year-old was walking about 7:25 p.m. in the 500 block of North Central Avenue when someone approached and shot him in the chest, abdomen and hip, Chicago police said. The man was pronounced dead on the scene.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn't released details about his death.
On Friday a South Shore man was fatally wounded.
