Quote:Two mothers in Chicago have been killed in a drive-by shooting as they stood on a street corner in an effort to deter gun violence.

Chantell Grant and Andrea Stoudemire were volunteers for Mothers Against Senseless Killings and had been camped out at the corner to prevent conflict.

They were shot on Friday evening by the occupants of a blue SUV. No arrests have yet been made.

Quote:A 58-year-old man who was present suffered a graze wound to his arm.

"It's too much around here," said the man, who did not wish to be identified, as he returned to the shooting scene to pay respects at an impromptu memorial.

"The older people can't come out and sit on the porch; the kids can't play," he told the Chicago Sun-Times. "It's just, wow. Everyone is scared."

Quote:Authorities say 48 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, with eight fatalities.
