   Let's break the record this weekend.   
      
   (Reuters) - An 11-year-girl was shot and killed during a slumber   
   party as violence struck Chicago over the weekend, local media   
   outlets reported on Sunday.   
      
   At least 40 people were shot, and four killed, in weekend   
   violence in the third-largest U.S. city, the NBC affiliate in   
   Chicago reported.   
      
   The deaths included an 11-year-old girl, shot in the head inside   
   a first-floor bedroom on Friday night after someone fired a gun   
   from outside the house, said Chicago Police Officer Jose Estrada.   
      
   Shamiya Adams, who died the next day, had been sitting on the   
   floor during a sleep-over at her best friend's home, the Chicago   
   Tribune reported.   
      
   The Chicago Police Department on Sunday had not released an   
   official tally of the weekend violence. But reports of another   
   outbreak of gunfire came as the city has been grappling with a   
   wave of summer violence.   
      
   City officials condemned as unacceptable a spree of gunfire over   
   the Fourth of July holiday weekend that left 17 dead, with 53   
   people shot, including five by police. Authorities said at the   
   time that shooting deaths in Chicago were down for the year.
