A 27-year-old was shot multiple times.
At least 15 people were were injured in weekend shootings in Chicago as of Saturday evening. Amid the gun violence, several communities were demanding peace. Among them was the family of Hadiya Pendleton, just days after what would have been her 25th birthday. "I wish I could turn all this back in to bring her back," said Nathaniel Pendleton.
About five miles away in Englewood, everyone was dressed in orange, honoring the hundreds of recent victims of gun violence. The message is clear: Put the guns down. Two men are hospitalized after a shooting in the city's South Shore neighborhood, police say. One of those men is in critical condition.
The 27-year-old was shot multiple times. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. A woman who lives in the neighborhood said almost daily reminders of gun violence -- the blown out windows and crime scene tape -- mean her fear never really goes away. It's the call the parents of Hadiya Pendleton wish they had never gotten.
