Chicago police said they investigated 27 shooting incidents that left at least 12 people dead and dozens of others wounded.
The stress of living in challenging circumstances and the usual ebbs and flows of ******** might have been some of the reasons why more than 40 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago, national anti-******** advocates based there told USA TODAY.
Of those who were shot, 12 died, according to media reports.
The city has been in the national spotlight for increasing *** ******** in recent years. The Chicago Police Department said in a statement Monday night that the majority of the shootings were attacks or retaliation during holiday gatherings by gang members.
"Ninety percent of those fatally wounded had gang affiliations, criminal histories and were pre-identified by the department's strategic subject algorithm as being a potential suspect or victim of *** ********," the statement said.
In addition to responding to the shootings, the Chicago Police Department confiscated 45 guns from city streets, starting Friday, a number that is slightly larger than what is typical, according to the statement.
The statistics join those that have been building up in recent years in the Midwestern city, which recently experienced its most violent month in more than 20 years. Chicago recorded 92 ******* in August, its deadliest month since June 1993. The city has reported more than 100 more ******* this year than New York City and Los Angeles combined, according to the department's data.
