Three people were shot to death in separate shootings in Chicago overnight, marking the latest string of violence in the Democratic-led city. 

The first incident occurred just after 10 p.m. when an individual approached two 38-year-old men while they were standing outside and began shooting, FOX 32 reported.  

Both men were shot in the side and were transported to local hospitals, where they died from their injuries. 

The violence comes on the same day President Donald Trump teased the possibility of expanding the deployment of federal law enforcement officers into other cities.  (Robert Knopes/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)

“We’re going to make it safe, and we’re going to then go on to other places, but we’re going to stay here for a while,” Trump said. “We want to make this absolutely perfect.” 

The Chicago Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
