2 police officers among 48 people shot in Chicago in violent weekend

A violent weekend in Chicago left at least 48 people shot in separate incidents, including two police officers who were wounded on Sunday morning when they responded to a ShotSpotter detection alert, authorities said. At least five people were killed in the rash of shootings between Friday and Sunday morning, according to Chicago Police Department incident reports reviewed by ABC News. Police said six children under the age of 17 were among the victims wounded, including a 2-year-old girl who was sitting in the back seat of a car when she was hit by a bullet fired from another vehicle. Two 14-year-olds and a 13-year-old were also shot and wounded in separate incidents, according to the reports. "Let's pray for peace in our city," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said at a news conference Sunday morning. "We've got to put these guns down. We've got to stop the flow of illegal guns into our city."
