Chicago’s violent streak continued over the weekend, with 64 people shot and at least nine killed, including a 12-year-old boy who was shot by his mother after a disagreement about a memory card.

Although the number of shootings this past weekend fell short of the total seen across Labor Day weekend, this past weekend was deadlier than the holiday when only six people were killed. This past weekend also saw two mass shootings, one of which left a firefighter and his 15-year-old niece seriously wounded, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
