The brutal weekend in Chicago reportedly killed 10 people and injured 45, including two police officers who were shot while stopping to check their documents.

The most recent fatal assault occurred on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 30, when a man police believed was the intended target was hit with multiple bullets while dining outdoors at Lumes Pancake House in Morgan Park, according to the Chicago Sun- Times ..

“All Chicagoans should be able to go out to eat without fear,” Alderman Matt O'Shea, who represents the area, was quoted as saying by the publication. “Today’s incident was a horrific tragedy and we must work together to bring those responsible to justice.”

Police say a white SUV drove up to a tent outside a restaurant and then someone inside the car opened fire, injuring a 31-year-old man and four others.

The suspects in the incident have reportedly not yet been identified, although everything was captured by a doorbell video camera.
