CHICAGO — Shootings have left two people dead and six injured between Friday and Saturday, police said.

Two men were killed and another injured when a man opened fire on an Englewood party he hadn't been allowed to attend, said Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

Non-fatal shootings:

• Most recently, at 2:25 a.m. Saturday, a 25-year-old woman was shot in Austin, Sedevic said. The woman was in the 5500 block of West Congress Parkway when she heard shots, felt pain and realized she'd been shot in her abdomen.

The woman took herself to Loretto Hospital and was transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital. Her condition was not released but she was listed as "stable," Sedevic said.

• At 5:20  p.m. Friday, a 14-year-old boy was shot while outside in Marquette Park, police said. The boy's condition was not released but he was listed as "stable."

• At 4:45 p.m., a 1-year-old child was shot while riding in a car in Austin, police said. The child's condition was not released but she was listed as "stable."

• At 11:30 a.m., a 22-year-old man was shot in Morgan Park, Sedevic said. The man was in the 1400 block of West 115th Street when he was shot in his left foot.

The man was taken to Metro South Hospital, where he was in good condition, Sedevic said.

The shooting might have been self-inflicted, police said.

• At 9:30 a.m., a 22-year-old man was shot in Austin, Sedevic said. The man was standing on a porch in the 1400 block of North Lavergne Avenue when a man came out of a gangway and fired shots, hitting the victim in his buttocks and leg.

The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. His condition was not released, but he was listed as "stable," Sedevic said.

The man is a documented gang member, police said.

No one was in custody in these shootings.
