Nearly 40 people were shot across Chicago over the weekend, but on Easter Sunday no homicides were reported, police said.

One person was killed Friday and another on Saturday, and despite a number of shootings reported in the city Sunday, the holiday remained homicide-free, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Kevin Quaid.

In total, 38 people were shot over the holiday weekend.

The most recent homicide took place just after 2 p.m. Saturday in the 7000 block of South Paulina Street, when two people were shot. A 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old man were walking in the block when they were approached by two gunmen who opened fire at them, police said. The 27-year-old man suffered three gunshot wounds to his right shoulder and a fourth to the left and was pronounced dead at Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago. The 28-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the head and refused treatment, police said.

Another person was killed in a shooting early Friday morning.

At least 12 people were shot Easter Sunday and several others wounded in shootings from Friday afternoon through early Monday morning.
