More than 45 people were shot, including a 14-year-old boy, and seven were killed in Chicago citywide over the weekend, police said Monday.

The youngest person killed, a 17-year-old male, was driving a car around 3 p.m. Sunday when one or more shooters opened fire, causing the teenager to suffer at least one gunshot wound to his face, police said. He then crashed his car into a light pole. The teen was rushed to a local hospital but could not be saved, police said. Of the 46 people shot, the youngest victim to survive, a 14-year-old boy, was on the sidewalk in the city’s Grand Crossing neighborhood shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday when he was shot in the hand and calf and also suffered a graze wound to his head, police said. He was taken to a local children’s hospital and police are still looking for his attacker.
