The shootings were concentrated in four police districts on the South and West sides.
Among the victims were a 17-year-old girl shot in the face, and a 17-year-old boy on a bike.
At a press conference Monday morning with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said more needs to be done to hold repeat gun offenders accountable.
"As long as we fail to hold repeat gun offenders accountable for their actions we're going to keep having these discussions on Monday mornings," Johnson said.
Supt. Johnson said they are investigating leads on a number of the shootings, but have not made any arrests in the shootings.
