As Labor Day Weekend Starts, 3 Lie Dead and 33 Are Wounded in Chicago Violence

Between Friday and Sunday night as the long Labor Day weekend began, three people were killed and 33 wounded -- and the weekend still has one more day to go, since Labor Day falls on Monday this year.

The long weekend began with a flurry of shootings, 11 in all, on Friday night.

The weekend's first homicide also happened Friday in the city's Back Of The Yards near south side neighborhood when at 10:45 PM police found a 36-year-old man lying on a sidewalk -- shot dead.

Less than five hours later, a 43-year-old man was shot and killed farther south.
