Preliminary crime statistics from this past weekend show 22 shootings in Chicago in a three-day span, resulting in 29 victims and four murder cases, according to the city's police department.
The numbers are subject to change and include incidents reported between 6 p.m. Friday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
The victims include a 16-year-old with a gunshot wound to the hand who told police he had been the victim of a drive-by involving a black SUV, a 62-year-old man and 23-year-old woman who were both shot in the legs while sitting in a garage, and a 33-year-old man shot twice in the chest by an unidentified male after an argument. He died from his injuries.
The grim statistics come as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker continues to reject a plan from President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard to Chicago to quell violence, a plan the governor claims is "Trump's invasion."
