( CNN ) -- After an 11-year-old girl was shot and killed by a stray bullet while sitting on a friend 's bedroom floor , Chicago officials met Monday to discuss the city 's recent surge in gun violence . The girl was just one of 47 shooting victims in Chicago over the weekend , five of which were fatal , according to statistics released by the Chicago Police Department . Shamiya Adams was brought to a nearby hospital in critical condition on Friday and pronounced dead Saturday morning , according to Anthony Brucci , a spokesman for Cook County Medical Examiner 's Office . She was visiting a friend when a stray bullet from outside the residence struck her , according to Chicago Police Officer Jose Estrada . No other injuries were reported at that incident , and no one has been arrested or charged , Estrada said . An investigation is ongoing . `` Every morning , I wake up and I cry , '' the girl 's mother told CNN affiliate WLS . `` I just ca n't believe it . '' `` She used to tell me every day , give me a letter every day -- how much she loved me , how I was the best mother in the world , '' Shaneetha Goodloe said , her voice cracking with emotion . `` And I will never hear that again from her . '' Asked what she would say to anyone who had anything to do with the child 's death , Goodloe replied : Speak up . `` If you know anything , you should say something because this was n't for her . This was not for my child . She was not supposed to die from a bullet to her brain , '' she said . Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel met Monday with the Chicago Police superintendent and community leaders to discuss violence in their city , an event scheduled before the uptick in gun violence over the weekend . `` Our kids only get heard when there is a shot , be it a basketball shot or a bullet shot . There are other kids out there , '' Emanuel said at the meeting . `` Everybody says , 'So what are you going to do ? ' As if there 's a single thing that 's going to resolve this problem , '' Emanuel said . `` It is a communitywide problem , which requires a communitywide solution . '' Blame weak gun laws for violence , Chicago 's top cop says . Emanuel went on to say that public safety in Chicago goes beyond police and into investments in after-school and summer job programs , gun law enforcement and penalties and community building . The violent weekend in Chicago follows a deadly Independence Day weekend when more than 60 people were shot and nine were killed , according to police statistics . Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy blamed weak gun laws for the spurt of holiday violence . `` There has to come a tipping point where this changes , '' McCarthy said then of the violence . `` The illogical nature of what 's happening here -- that government can intercede and prevent this from happening is overwhelming . And I refuse to think otherwise in a great country like America that we can continue to allow this to happen -- not just on a state , but on a federal level .
