From the Chicago Tribune: A South Side shooting left four girls and a boy hurt, and on the Northwest Side a 15-year-old girl was shot while riding in a vehicle as shootings across the city Sunday night added to the toll of a violent holiday weekend.
The weekend toll for gun violence in the city includes at least 9 people dead and at least 35 wounded. Two of the deaths came Sunday morning when a Cook County sheriff's office correctional officer apparently shot to death his wife, a Chicago police officer, inside their Southwest Side home Sunday morning before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.
Five of the children shot Sunday night, who range in age from 11 to 15, were shot by someone who fired from a car shortly after 7:30 p.m. on the 6600 block of South Michigan Avenue, police said.
They had recently left a family Easter barbecue to play basketball near a school, said Ernest Porter, an uncle of two of the victims.
Moments before the shooting, someone asked the group whether they belonged to a particular gang, according to Porter and police. The group said they were not, and someone opened fire nonetheless, said Porter, 61, in a brief interview outside University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital.
