[Berman:] During one 14-hour stretch in Chicago on Sunday, 44 people were shot. Forty-four people shot, five killed. CNN's Ryan Young live in Chicago with this deadly, dangerous weekend Ryan.
[Ryan Young, Cnn National Correspondent:] John, just a tough story. Of course, the city in mourning after this so we're kind of struck by the headline in the paper. It says less than seven hours after midnight Saturday, 44 people were shot, just like you were talking about the numbers here. But when you think about the carnage and you think about the young people who were in involved in this, you had a 13-year-old, you had a 14-year-old, an 11-year old all shot during this, this is very upsetting, of course, to a lot of people across the city. You've had over 5,000 illegal guns picked up off the streets of Chicago this year. The crime rate is down but then you have a weekend like this where it was so hot they had multiple shootings. At one point one of the things that stood out to me was the scene outside one of the hospitals here. One of the largest hospitals here in the city had more than 50 people standing outside, all waiting to find out what happened to their loved ones in a mass shooting. There were several parties over the weekend and it seems like, according to police, that gang members targeted some of these parties and shot them up. Multiple people getting shot and taken to the hospital to try to survive. We believe the numbers will actually go higher. There will be a news conference this afternoon where we'll learn more information. But when you think about what police have done over this last year, the crime rate has fallen tremendously because of some of the actions they have been taking. But you can see this weekend how things can spike. I can also tell you the fact that this summer they took 30,000 kids to work for a summer youth job program. They wanted to make sure kids were off the street. But you see on a weekend like this that gun violence knows no bounds, especially on the south and west side. This is a city where we've seen people take to the streets protesting the violence. It seems like so many answers are not coming in terms of what should happen next. We heard the mayor even talk about there needs to be a cultural change, but also a chance to get those illegal guns off the street Alisyn.
[Camerota:] Oh my gosh, Ryan, the numbers there are staggering. Of course, there has to be an answer there.
[Young:] Heartbreaking.
[Camerota:] Thank you very much. So an investigation is underway into the deadly crash of a small plane in Southern California. Officials say this twin-engine Cessna had declared an emergency before it dropped onto a parking lot in Santa Ana killing all five people on board. This happened just about a mile away from the John Wayne Airport. No one on the ground was injured.
[Berman:] Police are looking for a gunman who they say opened fire inside a community-run radio station in Madison, Wisconsin. Officials say a disc jockey suffered what is described as non-life-threatening injuries after several shots were fired inside the studio. Police can't say how the assailant entered the building early Sunday but there are signs of there are no signs of forced entry. The motive for the shooting is still unclear. Early indications suggest it does not appear to be random so there is no risk, they say, to the public.
[Camerota:] Singer Demi Lovato is speaking out for the first time since her apparent overdose. Last month on Instagram she wrote, "Addiction is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not yet done." Lovato says she now needs time to heal and focus on her sobriety. She ended the post with a vow to keep fighting. Well look, so many people I mean, including young people are following what happened with Demi Lovato because she has been outspoken about her addiction and when she overdosed or what appears to be an overdose that was so upsetting to everybody. But I think she makes a great point. Addiction doesn't go away.
[Berman:] Yes.
[Camerota:] You just learn how to manage it maybe from day to day.
[Berman:] I think what everyone should want here is that Demi Lovato gets the space to work through her own issues here and to get better. But also, for her to be as transparent and open as she can be because there are so many young people who I think would benefit
[Camerota:] Absolutely.
[Berman:] from knowing about this.
[Camerota:] No, it's really helpful to bring out this what is this stigma out into the public. It's really helpful.
[Berman:] All right. Atlanta police releasing body cam video of an intense fiery rescue. Officers racing against time to save a passenger from a burning car after hitting a utility pole Sunday morning. Look at that. The engine already engulfed in flames was already engulfed in flames when they arrived. One officer tried to pry the door open and grabbed the fire extinguisher to douse the flames while a second officer pulled the passenger out through the driver's side. A total of three people were taken to the hospital. One of the officers did suffer minor scrapes and bruises but otherwise, they were OK. Thank goodness for that.
[Camerota:] Oh my gosh, they're so brave. They're so brave going up there
[Berman:] It was remarkable.
[Camerota:] and going to that car.
[Berman:] Just go, go, go. All right. The fallout from an alleged plot to assassinate the Venezuelan president this remarkable scene caught on video with allegedly an explosive-laden drone involved here. We'll give you the latest, next.
