Two more minors recover after being shot Friday night. A 12-year-old and a 14-year-old were shot in the back seat of a car that was traveling northbound through Albany Park. The 12-year-old was shot in the leg but is in stable condition. The 14-year-old is in critical condition after getting shot in the back of the neck. Both are recovering at Illinois Masonic Hospital. The person who shot at them was in an SUV and has not been identified by Chicago police. No one is in custody.
More than 230 children were shot in Chicago so far this year. A number of events are being held throughout Saturday calling for an end to violence. Community organizations and churches from the South and West Sides are hosting different picnics, parades and giveaways.
There are at least 10 events going on around the city as the calls for peace continue, especially when it comes to violence among kids.
