A pair of drive-by shooting incidents have left two men dead and six people hurt. The first drive-by happened just after 1:15 a.m. in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. A group of men in a black Cadillac opened fire on a group of women in the 600 block of N. St. Louis, wounding four, two critically. The second shooting was outside a party in the Stony Island Park neighborhood around 2:30 a.m., killing two men and injured two others. According to the Tribune: "One man was at the party, two were coming to the party by car and a fourth man was standing in the street talking with his girlfriend when a dark car drove past and shots rang out, wounding all four." Two men, both 22, were later pronounced dead at separate hospitals. No one is in custody for either shooting.
