The rash of holiday-weekend shootings started the next day — and included two 2-year-olds who accidentally shot themselves when they separately got a hold of guns Saturday, according to local WGN-TV.
One of the tots shot themselves in the forearm and the other in the hand. Both are expected to survive.
A 14-year-old girl, 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old boy also were among the weekend’s non-fatal gunshot victims.
Three other people were shot while standing on the sidewalk early Monday, police told the television station.
