Man, 18, Becomes Fourth Person Fatally Shot Over Chicago Holiday Weekend
(CBS) -- An 18-year-old man was shot to death Monday evening in the South Side Longwood Manor neighborhood, according to Chicago Police.
He was shot in the head about 5:40 p.m. in the 9800 block of South Wallace, police said. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Witnesses told police that an unknown male fired multiple shots at the 18-year-old.
The Cook County medical examiner's office did not immediately provide information on the death Monday evening.
That brings the number of those killed in Chicago shootings over the holiday weekend to four. At least 29 other people have been wounded over that period.
The other fatalities:

This year's holiday weekend has been less violent than last year's.
In 2016, 57 people were shot, four of them fatally, by Monday evening of the long holiday weekend, which is widely viewed as the unofficial start of the summer — with an accompanying surge in city gun violence. By the end of that weekend, 69 people had been shot, leaving 6 dead. Twelve people were killed and 43 wounded over 2015's holiday.
This year, Chicago Police were flooding the streets with 1,300 extra patrol officers through early Tuesday.
