At least 16 individuals were shot early Sunday in Chicago.
No one has died in the overnight shootings, and most of the victims—the youngest of whom was 14—are in stable condition, according to Chicago Police. Most of the violence took place between 1:30 and 3:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Four police reported that teens were harmed in a single incident in Little Village. Police officers responded to gunfire and discovered four casualties in the 2500 block of South Washtenaw Avenue at 3 a.m. The victims told officers that the gunman fled the scene. Nobody has been arrested.
