4 hurt at party shooting in Chicago

A gunman opened fire at a family party on Chicago's South Side, wounding four people, including an 11-year-old child, police said. Police said the shooting Sunday night was about a block from the scene of a fatal shooting earlier in the day, but that it was too soon to tell whether the incidents were related, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday. Earlier in the day, a man was found dead in a car parked in a school parking lot, police said. The Sunday night incident brought to a close another violent Chicago weekend in which two people were killed and 24 injured since Friday night, WMAQ-TV, Chicago, said. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, said the city was "making efforts" to reduce gang conflict. He rejected the thought that Chicago was in a crisis. "[We're] containing it," Emanuel said in an interview from Charlotte, N.C., where he is attending the Democratic National Convention this week. "I'm going to do everything I can to make sure every child, when they're going to school, can think about their studies not their safety, regardless of where they live, and that's my first priority."
