Three high-profile shootings downtown this past weekend added to a spike in shootings this year in the city’s economic engine — an increase that follows disturbing trends from previous years.
The bloodshed includes a shooting on Sunday in which two people were hit by gunfire in an alley in the Chicago Theater District, including a stagehand for a performance that was later canceled for the evening; a teen fatally shot inside a Streeterville hotel; and a woman killed outside 10 Bowling Lounge in River North.
