Thirty-five people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the first of the two fatalities occurred Saturday night at 7:45 p.m. when attackers opened fire on a 45-year-old man standing on a sidewalk. The man was “in the 2800 block of South Kildare Avenue” when two gunmen exited a vehicle and opened fire, killing him.

The second fatality occurred during a drive-by shooting Sunday morning at 3:40 a.m. “in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue,” wounding four individuals and killing a 32-year-old man. WGN-TV explained that the four wounded individuals were a male age 30 and three women ages 25, 25, and 22.

Fox 32 noted that another drive-by shooting “at 12th Place and Central Park” occurred Saturday night and left a 20-year-old and two 16-year-olds wounded.
