At least seven people have been wounded in shootings since Friday evening, police said.
About 5 a.m. Saturday, a 23-year-old man was shot in South Austin, according to Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago police spokesman.
He walked into Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to the hip and told police he was shot near the 300 block of North Cicero Avenue. He was listed in good condition. Police said he was being uncooperative with their investigation, so no further information was available about the shooting.
At 4:40 a.m., a 24-year-old man was shot in East Garfield Park, Estrada said.
He was in a car in the 3300 block of West Warren Boulevard when he heard shots. He realized he had been hit in the buttocks and went to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
Ten minutes earlier, a 30-year-old man was shot in Logan Square, Estrada said.
He was a passenger in a vehicle in the 1600 block of North Humboldt Boulevard when a black SUV pulled up alongside and someone inside fired shots.
The man was hit in the back and taken to Norwegian American Hospital, then transferred to Stroger Hospital. His condition was stabilized.
At 3:05 a.m., a 27-year-old man was shot in West Pullman, said Officer Amina Greer, a Chicago police spokeswoman.
He was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped at a stop sign in the 200 block of East 118th Place. A van pulled alongside and someone inside fired shots, hitting him in the lower back.
He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, and his condition was stabilized.
At 12:20 a.m., a 27-year-old man accidentally shot himself in East Garfield Park, Greer said.
He was on a porch in the 3800 block of West Adams Street when he shot himself in the thigh by accident. He was taken to Mount Sinai, and his condition was stabilized.
About 8:15 p.m., a 19-year-old man was shot in West Pullman, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago police spokesman.
He was in the 11600 block of South Elizabeth Street when he was shot in the left leg. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in good condition.
Witnesses told police they heard shots and saw someone running in an alley, Alfaro said.
At 6:10 p.m., a 19-year-old man was shot in South Shore, Alfaro said.
He was shot in the right leg in the 2000 block of East 75th Street, and took himself to the University of Chicago Medical Center.
The wound may have been self-inflicted, authorities said.

The Cubs' collapse of 1969: An oral history
"Never let the pressure exceed the pleasure." — Cubs manager Joe Maddon
Cubs fans can only wonder what might have happened if Joe Maddon had been managing the 1969 Cubs instead of Leo Durocher.
The '69 Cubs were a team loaded with future Hall of Famers that somehow managed to blow a nine-game lead in the final two months of the season to the "Amazin' Mets." How did it happen? Was it because Durocher berated, alienated and eventually burned out his veteran players, leaving them spent by September?

Famous quotes, the way a woman would have to say them during a meeting
Alexandra PetriThe Washington Post
"A few weeks ago at work," Jennifer Lawrence wrote in an essay for Lenny (yup, I guess I'm subscribed to Lenny now! Well played, Lena Dunham). "I spoke my mind and gave my opinion in a clear and no-[BS] way; no aggression, just blunt. The man I was working with (actually, he was working for me) said, 'Whoa! We're all on the same team here!' As if I was yelling at him. I was so shocked because nothing that I said was personal, offensive, or, to be honest, wrong.

Speedster Quintin Berry will take the place of injured shortstop Addison Russell on the Chicago Cubs' National League Championship Roster released Saturday.
Berry was on the Cubs' NL wild-card roster but was replaced for the NL Division Series.
Berry has been successful on 27 of 28 stolen base attempts in his major league career. Berry was added to the Cubs' roster in September and struck out in his only at-bat but stole two bases in three attempts.

Along with Bears offense and defense, John Fox installing belief system
Dan WiedererChicago Tribune
Throughout the second half last weekend in Kansas City, a multitude of Bears found themselves reflecting on an allegory they had recently heard. It involved a lumberjack and a giant tree trunk and a theme of persistence.
Several players think they first heard the metaphor from coach John Fox. Others are certain it traces back to the address given by Matt Slauson on the eve of the Seahawks game in Week 3.
Slauson wanted his homily to have both a poignant message and a sense of place.
