Girl, 11, cut down by stray bullet one of four dead and 40 injured in yet another grim weekend of shootings in Chicago

An 11-year-old girl killed by a stray bullet is among the four dead and dozens of other people wounded by yet another brutal weekend of gun violence in Chicago.
Shamiya Adams was making s'mores inside a South Side home for a sleepover Friday night when a bullet went into the house and struck her in the head. Three other people were shot dead and a further 40 were injured, police said.
