During a bloody Fourth of July weekend, more than 50 people were shot and six killed in Chicago, a notorious hot spot for violent crime. 

Several mass shootings and drive-by shootings accounted for the violence that occurred between midnight on Thursday, July 3, and Sunday night, according to ABC 7, which tracked the violence. 

On Saturday morning alone, a mass shooter injured four, three critically, in a drive-by attack in the city’s Little Village neighborhood. Several suspects inside an SUV opened fire on the victims while they sat in their own vehicle, according to the report.

On the same morning, a 21-year-old man was reportedly shot dead in a drive-by shooting in South Side Chicago. 

Thursday morning’s deadly shootings were accompanied by two separate mass shootings, one that injured four, and another that injured three, according to ABC 7. 

According to city data, there have been 205 homicides in Chicago this year, including 170 fatal shootings. 

Over Memorial Day weekend at the end of May, 22 people were shot, two fatally, in the city. 

The Chicago Police Department and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office did not immediately return comment requests.
