At Least 102 Shot in Chicago Over Holiday Weekend

It was a long and bloody weekend in Chicago, where police say at least 102 people were shot between Friday afternoon and early Wednesday, 15 of them fatally. 

Police say they're "perplexed" and "frustrated" by the scale of the gun violence, which comes after a relatively peaceful Memorial Day weekend, reports the Chicago Tribune. 

Almost half the shootings happened in the last 12 hours of the long weekend, between 3:30pm Tuesday and 3:30am Wednesday. According to Tribune data, 72 people were shot over the Fourth of July weekend in 2013, which was the last time it spanned four full days.
