CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago police say a 15-year-old boy was shot to death in a drive-by shooting over the Memorial Day weekend.
Chicago police say the boy, who hasn’t been identified, was killed Sunday about 6:35 p.m. in a shooting that left a 16-year-old girl grazed by a bullet. It happened in the Lawndale neighborhood on the city’s West Side.
Police say the two teenagers were in an area between building when a vehicle drove by and someone opened fire. Chicago police said Monday afternoon that the city had two killings, 21 shooting incidents and 27 shooting victims since 6 p.m. on Friday.
Memorial Day weekend has become one of the deadliest times of the year in the city. Last year the weekend ended with 56 people wounded in shootings and six people killed.
