CHICAGO (CBS) — At least 25 people were shot, five of them fatally, over weekend in Chicago. Four of the shooting victims were under age 18. Police said a 16-year-old boy was visiting a friend in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood around 8:45 p.m. Friday, when he got into an argument with two other people in an apartment in the 6300 block of South Richmond Street. The boy ran out of the apartment and down the street, and the two people he had been arguing with chased him down and shot him multiple times.
