Two young boys, ages 15 and 17 were among the 28 who were shot in random places in Chicago during the weekend.
The spike in gun violence in the United States is moving at an alarming rate with States like Los Angeles, Florida, Philadephia, and Chicago at the forefront.
Early on Sunday, a 15-year-old boy was among six people who were brutally shot in Chicago. The teen was randomly walking with another person on the 5400-block of South Kedzie Avenue when a bullet hit him in his left leg.
He was immediately taken to a local hospital where he was responding well to treatment and is in a good condition.
That same morning at about 2:25 am, there was a random drive-by shooting, when two young men who were sitting in a parked vehicle in the 2300-block of West Taylor Street were shot multiple times.

The same morning, a 24-year-old man was walking in the 9700-block of South Jeffery Boulevard when someone in a black sedan drove through firing bullets of which one got his right leg.

On Saturday night, a 17-year-old boy was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head at about 7 p.m. in the passenger seat of a vehicle parked in an alley in the 1900-block of South State Street.
