At least 89 arrests were made and 216 guns seized during the holiday weekend.
Despite stay-at-home orders firmly in place to blunt the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the Memorial Day weekend saw an old scourge reemerge with a vengeance on the streets of Chicago: gun violence.
At least 49 people were shot, 10 fatally, between 6 p.m. on Friday and 11:59 p.m. on Monday, according to data the Chicago Police Department released Tuesday to ABC News.
Police Superintendent David Brown said three of the shooting victims were juveniles, including one who was killed.
Brown said at least 89 people were arrested over the weekend for gun offenses and that 216 firearms were seized, including several with extended magazines.
He said Chicago police issued roughly 900 orders for large gatherings to disperse, or 300 a day over the three-day weekend.
Police said one of the fatal shootings involved a 16-year-old boy who suffered bullet wounds to the chest and arm. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
