*For 10 minutes, it seemed like the shooting was everywhere in the South
Chicago neighborhood.*
It started when someone shot and wounded a couple, then two people fired at
the shooter, then there was a chase and shots exchanged and a man sitting
on a porch was hit. *Responding officers kept cutting each other off on
their radios as they reported other gunfire* in the area late Sunday night
and early Monday morning.
*Then the heavy equipment rolled in: A helicopter and SUVs packed with
lockers of rifles. SWAT teams in green coveralls patrolled the streets with
uniformed officers.*
It was just one of dozens of shooting scenes across Chicago over the long
Fourth of July weekend. In all, *at least 82 people were shot, 14 of them
fatally*, since Thursday afternoon when two woman were shot as they sat
outside a two-flat within a block of Garfield Park.
Five of the people were shot by police

over 36 hours on Friday and Saturday, including *two boys 14 and 16 who
were killed when they allegedly refused to drop their guns*.
Many of the long weekend's shootings were on the South Side, clustered in
the Englewood, Roseland, Gresham and West Pullman neighborhoods that rank
among the most violent in the city.
The victims ranged from the 14-year-boy shot by police in the Old Irving
Park neighborhood to a 66-year-old woman grazed in the head as she walked
up the steps of her porch on the Far South Side. *Most victims were in
their late teens and 20s.*
Each night of the long holiday weekend, at least a dozen people were shot
in the greatest burst of gun violence Chicago has seen this year.
