A man was found lying unresponsive on the street Friday night in the 900 block of West 61st Street.

At least two people have been shot across Chicago so far this weekend, including a man who was killed Friday night in Englewood on the South Side.

About 10:35 p.m., officers found the 27-year-old lying unresponsive on the street in the 900 block of West 61st Street, Chicago police said.

He had suffered gunshot wounds to the abdomen and leg and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not yet identified the man.

There were no witnesses to the shooting and no additional details available, according to police.

In nonfatal attacks, a man was shot Saturday morning in East Garfield Park on the West Side.

The 62-year-old was standing outside about 6:10 a.m. in the 3900 block of West Monroe Street when someone opened fire, striking him in the leg, police said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Last weekend, 27 people were wounded, five fatally, in citywide shootings.
