Chicago Negroes Go On Shooting Spree - Sat April 24th, 2016 - 20 colored people shot & wounded over 13 hours in Chicago, 5 on porch in West Englewood

Two people were killed and three others were wounded as they sat on a porch in West Englewood late Sunday — among 20 people shot in Chicago over 13 hours, police said.

They were with a group of people in the 2000 block of West 68th Place, attending a party for someone recently released from jail, according to a law enforcement source, citing preliminary information.

About 11:10 p.m., someone fired shots from a vacant lot across Damen Avenue, hitting five people, the source said.

Two men were pronounced dead on the scene: a 38-year-old man hit in the head and 26-year-old man shot in the chest. Their bodies were taken to hospitals.

A 27-year-old man was shot in the back and went to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Another 27-year-old man was shot in the left leg and went to St. Bernard Hospital. A 24-year-old woman was shot in the leg and went to Stroger Hospital. All their conditions were stabilized, officials said.

In other shootings since early Sunday afternoon:
