Disturbing audio of deadly Chicago shooting released after violent weekend leaves seven dead, 52 wounded.
The sound of seemingly unending gunfire can be heard over the course of 51 seconds in an audio recording released by the Chicago Police Department on Monday after a slew of shootings throughout the city over the weekend left seven people dead and dozens injured.
Investigators reportedly believe the fatal shooting stemmed from a basketball game where police recovered three weapons and dispersed the crowd, which reassembled after they left, according to WLS. "It illustrates how many people carry guns & the lack of accountability for doing so," the department said.
Police and emergency services were stretched to the limit over the weekend, WLS reported. Mt. Sinai Hospital in Douglas Park had reached capacity and had to go on bypass for several hours, and on Sunday night, an additional 50 officers were brought into the 10th District alone.
