At least 17 people were killed and 41 others were injured in shootings across Chicago between Friday evening and Monday morning.
On Saturday night, two women were shot while inside a restaurant in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.
A masked man opened fire inside the Jamaican Jerk Villa in the 700-block of West 79th Street at about 8:38 p.m, police said.
Two women were shot, a customer and a worker. Both are expected to recover.
“Total silence was honor among thieves, not honor among murderers, honor among shooters,” said crisis responder Dawn Valenti. “It’s not normal and I am not going to accept it as normal and nobody should accept it as normal because if we accept it as normal it’s going to continue.”
In 2016 alone, 3088 people have been shot and wounded in Chicago, with 578 shot and killed.
