A 3 year old among the 23 people wounded in latest shooting spree in Chicago

This is no surprise seeing as how is was just a reports was just released this past week from the FBI that Chicago topped the list of "Cities with the most Homicides in 2012". Others on the list included Detroit, Philly, Dallas and New Orleans. But in this shooting in Chicago a 3 year old was wounded with a shot to his face. Washington Post reports:

Three people were killed and 23 wounded in the latest spate of violence to hit Chicago.

The wounded include 3-year-old Deonta "Tay-man" Howard, and two teens, among 13 people shot in an apparent gang-related attack in Chicago's South Side Cornell Square Park.

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said an assault-style rifle with a high-capacity magazine was used in the shootings.

"They almost shot his whole face off,' McCarthy said, noting it was a "miracle" that no one had died in the attacks.

Others in the violence-plagued city weren't so lucky. At least 10 others were shot in other incidents late Thursday and early Friday. Three were murdered, including Johnny Tinsey, 36, Rubin Austin, 25, and an unidentified 29-year-old woman.
