A bloody Fourth of July weekend ended with at least 150 people killed in more than 400 shootings that occurred across the country, according to data compiled throughout the weekend.

In New York City, at least 26 people were shot from Friday through Sunday, with at least two of the incidents resulting in deaths.

In Chicago, 100 people were struck by gunfire resulting in 18 deaths since Friday night, according to Chicago police. In nearly all of the cases, no suspects were taken into custody as detectives continue to investigate the incidents. 69 of the more than 450 nationwide shootings occurred in Chicago alone. 

Gun Violence Archive compiled the data of the number of victims killed and injured in shootings nationwide from Friday to Monday.

Several of the victims were teenagers and children. The youngest victims injured in shooting incidents included a 13-year-old boy shot in his left hand, a 12-year-old girl who remains in critical condition, and a 6-year-old girl shot in the hand, police said. 

Two Chicago police officers were shot as they dispersed a large crowd Monday morning, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said, adding that the wounded officers "will be all right."
