Chicago shootings: 102 shot, 14 fatally, over Father's Day weekend

Chicago saw its highest number of gun violence victims in a single weekend this year with 102 people shot across the city from Friday evening to Monday morning, 14 of them fatally.

The weekend saw more shooting victims but less fatalities than the last weekend of May, when 85 people were shot, 24 of them fatally - Chicago's most deadly weekend in years.

Francis was shot in the back, chest and hand while the 16-year-old was shot in the back and side.

The older man was shot in the knee and hip while the younger man was shot in both legs.

Less than an hour before that, a man was fatally shot and another was injured in Logan Square on the Northwest Side.

A 24-year-old woman shot in the leg and a 32-year-old man shot in the arm were taken to the same hospital in good condition.

A 21-year-old man was shot in the hip and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center.
