Chicago faith leaders address deadly shootings, crowds at Stroger

Chicago's most violent weekend of the year continued right into Monday and overnight with several more shootings. Police say three men were wounded Monday afternoon on West Iowa in the South Austin neighborhood. Two of the victims remain in critical condition. These most recent shootings follow a deadly weekend where 75 people were shot, and 12 of them died.
