Two dead and at least 10 wounded over weekend in Chicago

The last full weekend in March saw two people killed and at least 10 others wounded. 

Both fatalities happened on Sunday. Early that morning a man was shot to death while driving in Little Village on the Southwest Side. According to ABC Chicago, an "unruly group" confronted police officers responding to the shooting, one cop was hit in the head with an object, he was taken to a hospital and his condition is listed as good. 

In the other fatal shooting, a man was found shot to death in East Garfield Park on the West Side.

Chicago is eight days from Election Day. The remaining two candidates are Paul Vallas, who promises to hire more police officers, and Brandon Johnson, who said in 2020 that defunding the police was "a political goal."
