At least 46 people were shot, five of them fatally, in Chicago over the past weekend as the violence plaguing the city over the summer has carried over to the fall, the Chicago Tribune has reported.

A 17-year-old girl was killed in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Saturday at around 12:30 a.m., Chicago police told ABC7. She was identified as Naome Zuber, a senior at Curie High School, who was planning to study criminal justice.

Zuber was shot while she was a passenger inside a vehicle that was heading to a birthday party with three other friends. The gunman, a pedestrian, fired shots at the vehicle, striking her in the head.
