In addition, a 13-year-old boy was shot several times in the right thigh and went to Comer Children's Hospital; a 23-year-old man was shot in the left leg and taken to Stroger Hospital; a 30-year-old man was hit in the buttocks and leg and also taken to Stroger; and a 34-year-old man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with gunshot wounds to the leg, shoulder and right hand.



Chicago Fire Cmdr. Walter Schroeder said the four taken to hospitals were in serious-to-critical condition. Police said their conditions were stabilized, and that the 13-year-old was critical but stable.



A neighbor, who only wanted to be identified by her first name Lisa, said she had just put her daughters to bed when she heard dozens of gunshots. She rushed back to their beds to make sure no bullets had come through the window.



"It's just constant violence over here," she said.



Recently, she was outside barbecuing when someone started shooting. She had to let her food burn because the gunfire wouldn't stop. Last year, four men were shot on the same block while her daughter had a birthday party.



She said there is gunfire day and night, even when officers are posted nearby. "The police, they be on the blocks and they shooting," she said. "We've got idiots with guns."



Lisa said she and her family rarely leave the house. "We can't use these bike lanes," she said, gesturing to lines painted on Marquette Road. "They ought to take this stuff out of here. It's useless."



She said she owns two properties in the city and recently was told she would owe $12,000 in property taxes. "You want me to spend $12,000 and we can't go in the yard?"



She nodded at the crime scene tape stretched across the block. "This is costing me," she said. "I pay taxes. I pay for these schools to be built. I pay for these bodies to be dragged off the block."



Her tenants balk at paying for a place where they feel unsafe, she said.



"They look at me like, 'I'm not (going to) pay my rent. I can't even sit on the front porch,' " she said. "I just got a tenant. They say (they're) scared to go to the mailbox. Three steps out the door! This is embarrassing. As an entrepreneur, this is embarrassing."



She recently saw someone get shot, go to the hospital and then come back to the same block.



"You got out of the hospital and you're walking around again on some bulls---?" she said. "They don't need to die. They want to die. If this is the path you choose, you want to die."



She said she wants to leave the city with her family, but her properties couldn't sell for more than a fraction of their assessed value. "The price of everything goes up and the value goes down."



Community activist Andrew Holmes told reporters on the scene that neighbors must work together to find who is responsible for the latest shooting.



"We as a community are going to be working the blocks to try to find out who and if anybody knows any information,'' Holmes said. "It's up to the community to stand together from the east of Englewood to the west side of Englewood to put a stop to the shooting here. It can be done with the residents speaking up.



"No matter how old he was, he's still human and he's still somebody's child,'' Holmes of the man who died.



In other shootings in the city since Monday afternoon, one man was killed and at least four others were wounded.



A 24-year-old man was fatally shot around 10:40 p.m. on the block where he lived in Englewood, authorities said. Ronald McBee was fighting with someone over a gun in the 7300 block of South Morgan Street, police said.



The other person got hold of the gun and opened fire, shooting McBee several times. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 11:32 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.



Earlier Monday, three suspects were taken into custody after two men were shot on the Near South Side, police said. The men, ages 21 and 27, were in the first block of West 21st Street about 1:10 p.m. when four people approached and fired shots.



The younger man suffered wounds to the neck and face and went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. The older man was shot in the buttocks and went to the same hospital. His condition was stabilized. They were being uncooperative with investigators, a police source said.



Police took three people into custody, one of them a female, and were searching for a fourth. A gun was recovered.



Nearby John B. Drake Elementary, 2710 S. Dearborn St., was briefly on lockdown, but all students and staff were safe, said Chicago Public Schools spokesman Michael Passman.



Other shootings:



• At 11:30 p.m., a 21-year-old man was seriously wounded in Englewood. He was driving in the 5600 block of South Loomis Street when someone exited a black sedan and fired shots, hitting him twice in the back. He went to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.



• At 6:55 p.m., a 38-year-old man was shot during an attempted robbery in South Austin. He was in the 700 block of North Lavergne Avenue when someone walked up, pulled out a handgun, demanded money, then fired shots, police said. The man was hit in the buttocks and went to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.



• A 34-year-old man walked into MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn on Monday evening, hours after he was shot in Chicago, police said. He had a graze wound to the back and told investigators he was shot at 1:45 a.m. while driving in the 1600 block of North Cicero Avenue. He honked his horn at a vehicle that had stopped at the intersection, then someone in the vehicle fired shots, grazing him in the back, he said.
