In another attack, a woman in her 20s was shot multiple times in the 1600-block of South Drake Avenue. She was also pronounced dead at Mt. Sinai Hospital.

The third deadly shooting victim was a man in his 20s, shot dead in the 400-block of South Pulaski around 3:30 p.m. Monday.

Once again, Father Michael Pfleger is touting basketball as an alternative to the stree violence.
"We been trying to pull brothers and sisters together. Meet each other on the court, not on the street, build relationships with each other. And then see how we can offer jobs and how we can offer internships in different businesses as well as get back in school," said Father Pfleger.
Monday's shootings follow an extremely violent holiday weekend during which at least 70 people were wounded and a dozen were killed in shootings.
