CHICAGO (CBS) ― At least 29 people were shot and three were killed over the weekend, and gunfire injured more than a dozen people in the wee hours both Saturday and Sunday.
As the weekend came to an end, two men were shot when someone started firing "indiscriminately" into a large crowd of people in the busy Uptown neighborhood.
Shortly before 9:30 p.m. the shooter, a man, was at the northeast corner of Broadway and Wilson Avenue and fired at least five shots "indiscriminately" south toward a currency exchange, where a large crowd of at least 30 people had gathered, witnesses said.
A Police News Affairs release early Monday said two men -- 47 and 25 -- were struck by gunfire and taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The younger man was in stable condition with a gunshot wound to his shoulder and the other man was shot in the abdomen and was in serious condition, the release said.
The intersection is located just below the busy Wilson Red Line 'L' stop, and just east of Truman College.
But the gunfire over the weekend wasn't limited to the cover of night. A man was shot in broad daylight in the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
The man, 24, was in the 8900 block of South Racine Avenue at 1:35 p.m. when two people approached him, at least one of whom pulled out a handgun and opened fire, police said. The man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in stable condition with gunshot wounds to his head and lower back, police said.
Earlier, at least thirteen people were shot -- one fatally -- in a little more than five hours between 10:45 p.m. p.m. Saturday and 4 a.m. Sunday, with most shootings taking place on the Northwest and Southwest sides, according to police News Affairs reports.
That wave came on the heels of a six-hour stretch from midnight to 6 a.m. Saturday, which also saw 13 people shot, two fatally, police said.
In one fatal shooting, a Burbank man was shot in the back in the 5100 block of South Sacramento about 12:10 a.m. after a man inside a vehicle opened fire, police said.
Yusuf Yusuf, of Burbank, was pronounced dead at 12:49 a.m. at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. A motive for the slaying was not known early Sunday.
The shootings began about 10:45 p.m. Saturday in the Northwest Side's Albany Park neighborhood, when a 22-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman were shot in the 4100 block of North Kimball Avenue, police said.
