Jan. 04--At least four people were killed and 38 others wounded in shootings in Chicago over the long New Year's weekend, according to police.
The 33 people shot over the first three days of the new year was more than double the number of people shot over the same period last year: Fifteen people were wounded the first three days of 2015.
The first night of the extended weekend -- Thursday into Friday -- saw 17 people shot, two of them fatally.
Another 7 were shot, one fatally, the next night.
Saturday night, a 16-year-old boy was killed and 14 others were wounded.
Three others were shot Sunday night.
The violent weekend capped a year that saw the shooting and homicide count climb past 2014 totals. Last year, more than 2,900 people were shot and 470 people were killed.
