(HUFFINGTON POST) Eight people died and at least 46 others were wounded in shootings over a hot, bloody weekend in Chicago.
Joseph Briggs, 16, was the youngest victim of gun violence over the weekend. He was shot in the head while standing with a group of people on the porch in front of his family’s home Saturday evening and died early Sunday.
His grandmother Josephine Briggs told the Chicago Sun-Times that she believed her grandson was not the intended target of the shooting which police say may have been gang-related.
