3 killed, including one teen, and at least 19 others wounded in Chicago over weekend

The coldest weekend in months didn't slow down the violence in Chicago. Over the past weekend three people were shot to death and at least 19 others were wounded.

The fatalities include a 15-year-old girl and a 44-year-old man were shot to death in Austin on the West Side on Sunday night, a third person was wounded.

In another Sunday night West Side triple-shooting, this time in East Garfield Park, a 31-year-old man was killed. 

On the political front, today is the first day where candidates for mayor of Chicago can file petitions to appear on the ballot--the first round of voting takes place in late February. As I've mentioned before, the incumbent, Lori Lightfoot, will run for reelection. As a candidate four years ago, Lightfoot said the level of violence then was "unacceptable." 

Only it's higher now.
