"There's a lot of tension ... And it might get worse because you can hear people talking about revenge, saying on their cell phones 'I know who did it. You get him.'"

The comments come from a police officer outside of Stroger Hospital in Chicago, where people gathered after the city experienced one of the most violent weekends of the year.

Eleven people were fatally shot and 63 more wounded between 3 p.m. Friday afternoon and 6 a.m. Monday morning. Thirty people were shot in a three-hour span early Sunday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Victims included a 17-year-old girl shot in the face, and four teenagers ranging from 11 to 17-years-old.
