“I think it is representative of the gang, drug, gun violence problem that still persists in Chicago,” Rice said. “It’s not a law enforcement problem solely. There’s not going to be a law enforcement solution to this. You can’t arrest your way out of gang violence.”

In addition to the other shootings, the station reports there were six police-involved shootings over the long weekend. Two of the people shot by police were teenagers. As of early Monday morning, the station reports no one was in custody for any of the weekend shootings.
