Two children and a teenager were among 18 people reportedly shot and killed in Chicago over the weekend amid calls from activists to defund police departments, according to a Monday report.
The shootings bring Chicago’s homicide totals to 300 so far in 2020, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday. The city didn’t reach that death toll from shootings in 2019 until August, according to the Sun-Times.
A 10-year-old girl was fatally shot Saturday night when a stray bullet struck her in the head while she was sitting at home, the Chicago police said, according to the Sun-Times. She was pronounced dead hours later at a nearby hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
