Summary:Stores drew iron bars across their windows, mothers tried to keep their children indoors, and police braced for the unknown. Then the bullets started flying. Nineteen people were shot, two of them fatally. The 911 lines lit up, and police sirens wailed into the morning. The Sunday night in question was not two days ago, the one that saw Chicago's Bulls earn their third straight National Basketball Association championship. It was two weeks ago, June 6, an off night for basketball but not for mayhem. An 18-year-old was shot and wounded just a few blocks from where Castillo was killed; two 19-year-old men were shot on the South Side by a man on a bicycle; a 19-year-old woman and her 22-year-old friend were shot on the Northwest Side as they stood through the sun roof of their car; a 12-year-old boy was critically wounded in a drive-by on the South Side.
