At Least 8 Hurt in Chicago Weekend Shootings as Police Seek Female Suspect

The cluster of attacks underscores recurring weekend gun violence in several neighborhoods.

Overview

  • In Irving Park, police say a heavyset Hispanic woman opened fire from a distance, wounding three men before fleeing on foot, and officers recovered about 10 shell casings.
  • A shooter fired into a crowd in West Englewood, leaving a 16-year-old in critical condition and injuring two men, and police recovered a firearm at the scene with no arrests reported.
  • A 24-year-old woman driving on East 100th Street was shot by someone in a black vehicle and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition as the car sped off.
  • Chicago police report at least eight people injured across separate incidents citywide, and several victims took themselves to hospitals, which can slow early case tracking.
  • Area detectives are investigating each scene, and the lack of quick arrests despite recovered evidence highlights the challenge of solving fast-moving, multi-location shootings.
