CHICAGO — Two people were killed and 15 others were wounded — including a four-year-old girl — in shootings across the city since Friday night, police said.

In University Village, officers responded to calls of shots fired and found a 20-year-old man unresponsive, and in West Town, a 34-year-old man was on a front porch when he was fatally shot.

In West Englewood, a four-year-old girl was sitting a car with a 17-year-old boy when another car drove by and fired shots, striking the two and a teenage girl standing nearby.

In Humboldt Park, two men were critically wounded when they were shot inside a second floor apartment.

• The most recent shooting was in Roseland: A 26-year-old man was standing outside in the 11200 block of South Steward Avenue when a man exited a car, walked over and fired shots around 3 a.m., said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police spokesman.

The man was shot in his back and taken to Roseland Community Hospital where his condition had stabilized, Estrada said.

• A few hours earlier, a 20-year-old was shot during a robbery in Washington Park, Estrada said.

Around 1:20 a.m., the man and another person were walking on the sidewalk near 57 E. Garfield Blvd., when two other men walked up and demanded a coat and a cell phone. During the robbery, the 20-year-old man was shot in his right leg and taken to Saint Bernard Hospital where his condition had stabilized, Estrada said.

• Minutes earlier, a minivan was stopped at a stop sign in the 3200 block of West Walnut Street in Garfield Park at 1:05 a.m., when someone fired shots from the sidewalk, striking a 21-year-old passenger in his shoulder, Estrada said. 

He was taken to Norwegian American Hospital where his condition had stabilized, Estrada said.

• In Washington Heights around 12:15 a.m., an 18-year-old was standing outside talking to a 45-year-old woman in the 1100 block of West 104th Place when an unknown man approached and fired shots, Estrada said.

The 18-year-old was shot in his right foot and right finger, and the woman was shot in her left ankle. Both were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where their conditions had stabilized, Estrada said.

• Just after midnight, a 15-year-old was riding in a car in the 1500 block of South Lake Shore Drive in the Near South Side, near Soldier Field, when another vehicle pulled up and fired multiple shots, striking the teen in his arm. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition, Estrada said.

• Around 11:30 p.m. in Washington Heights, two men were standing outside in the 9200 block of South Normal Avenue when someone in a passing white sedan fired shots, Estrada said.

A 44-year-old man was shot in his right thigh and a 19-year-old man was shot in his right forearm. Both men were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center where their conditions had stabilized, Estrada said.

• Less than an hour earlier, a 25-year-old man was walking in the 600 block of North Menard Avenue in Austin at 11 p.m., when he heard shots and felt pain. He was shot in his left calf and taken to West Suburban Hospital where his condition had stabilized, Estrada said.

• In Chicago Lawn around 7:15 p.m, a 37-year-old man was standing near an alley in the 2900 block of West 66th Street when he was shot in his groin and leg and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in serious condition, Estrada said.
