Seven people were wounded during a fight that escalated into a shootout Monday night in Englewood on the South Side.

On March 15, a shooting wounded 15 people, 2 fatally, at another impromptu party in Park Manor on the South Side. That shooting was the most violent attack in terms of the number of victims since last July when 15 people were shot outside a Gresham funeral home.
