“By Monday morning ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times / WLS reported two additional shooting deaths for the weekend and numerous more shot and wounded. At 3:50 a.m. Sunday a man was fatally shot inside a house ‘in the 12000-block of South Princeton Avenue.’ Police arrived and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.”
“Around 6 p.m. a 28-year-old man was shot and killed while sitting in a vehicle ‘in the 5300-block of South Hermitage Street.’”
