3 killed, at least 34 wounded, one mass shooting in Chicago over weekend

Chicago is down to three finalists to be Chicago's next police chief. And as newly-sworn-in Mayor Brandon Johnson is promising a "holistic" approach to the city's plague of violence, I expect the situation to remain the same--or get even worse.

Over the past weekend, three people were shot to death early Sunday morning in Chicago--and at least 34 others wounded. One of the fatalities, a 40-year-old woman, was killed in a mass shooting in West Garfield Park on the West Side.

Of the other deadly shootings, around the same time as the mass shooting, a man was killed in Humboldt Park on the Northwest Side. And on Saturday evening, a man was fatally wounded in Gage Park on the Southwest Side.
