There was a shooting in West Englewood in which a man was killed and another was wounded. There was a shooting in a baby shower in which six people were injured just blocks away.

In the West Englewood shooting, the two people were standing in 6500-block of South Oakley at 5:40 p.m. when a car drove by and fired shots at them.

The first fatal shooting of Monday occurred in Austin on the West Side when a man was shot five times and died from the wounds.

He died at the Stroger Hospital.

Two young kids aged 14-year and 7-year were shot in separate incidents but survived the shootings.
