Over 40 were shot, and 11 died over the weekend in Chicago as the homicide counter crossed the 500 mark. While faring somewhat better than last year, Chicago struggles to shake off the grip of violence strangling many its neighborhoods.
The deadly weekend started around 8:40 p.m. on Friday when a person in a white SUV opened rifle fire on another vehicle, killing three men and a woman inside. The woman was believed to be pregnant.
