According to ABC 7, 15 people were shot, one fatally, in gun-controlled Chicago between 11 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday.
The 43-year-old shooting victim, who died from his injuries, was standing outside with another guy “in the Logan Square neighborhood’s 1600-block of North Washtenaw Avenue” when a gunman approached and started firing soon after 11 p.m. on Saturday.
The 43-year-old was shot in the chest and taken to the hospital, where he died.
The other man, 33 years old, was wounded in the leg and sent to the hospital in good condition.
According to NBC 5 Chicago, “the suspect in the shooting fled the scene on foot.”
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that 223 people have died in the Windy City so far in 2026. The brutal seven-hour period—from 11 p.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday—and the city’s homicides thus far in 2026 occurred despite strict firearms prohibitions.
Chicago, like the rest of Illinois, has a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases, a red flag law, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, a concealed carry permit requirement, gun storage laws, a “Glock switch” ban, a bump stock ban, and firearm regulations that Democrats refer to as “ghost guns.”
