Chicago, which has seen gun violence drop precipitously over the last several months from record highs over the summer, saw a spike in violence over the weekend, including a “mass shooting” at a house party that left half a dozen people wounded.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that “six people were killed and at least 33 others wounded in shootings across Chicago this weekend,” adding that the spike was “twice as deadly as last weekend” when three people were killed and 18 left wounded in a series of attacks across the city’s south and west sides.
