Gun violence in Chicago over Easter weekend killed at least seven people and wounded dozens of others, including a man who was shot nine times while pumping gas, authorities said Monday.

The 33-year-old victim was at a gas station in the 3700 block of West Roosevelt Road in Chicago’s Home Square neighborhood around 11:18 p.m. Saturday when a trio of suspects fired gunshots and rifle rounds, Chicago police said. The three suspects then fled in a white Infiniti.

Despite being shot nine times, the victim drove himself to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. A 31-year-old woman in the car with the victim was also in critical condition after suffering gunshot wounds to her right shoulder, ribs and arm, police said.

From 6 p.m. Friday to 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, there were 21 reported shooting incidents, according to Chicago police data released Monday morning. Of the 33 victims shot, seven were killed.
