According to authorities, the other casualties included a 52-year-old male who was shot in the face and chest, an 18-year-old guy who was shot in the leg and torso, and a second 18-year-old man who was shot in the thigh and buttocks.

According to Chicago police figures issued on Monday morning, between Friday evening and Sunday night, there were 19 reported shooting events and 28 reported shooting victims, both deadly and non-fatal.
According to authorities, at least four homicides were reported.
According to authorities, a fight between many women led to the gunshot at Washington Park. Police stated that the culprit, who was only identified as a guy, drew a gun and started shooting before running off on foot.
