Chicagoist hopes you enjoyed your weekend, perhaps catching some good music at the Pitchfork Festival, watching the Cubs sweep the Cardinals, or just sitting inside on top of an air conditioning vent. Because any kind of good vibes you have left over will be squashed when you check out today's headlines:

• Peoria Wife Tortured By Husband


• 12-Year-Old Leaps From Window To Escape Abuse


• Man Beaten To Death With Baseball Bats


• Suburban Teen Dies After Pool Accident


• Man Shot While Sleeping At Home


• Hit-And-Run Kills One Person, Injures Two Others


• 11-Year-Old Girl Drowns At Indiana Beach


• Man Accused Of Fatal Stabbing At AA Meeting


• Man Killed In Drive-By Shooting On South Side


• Men Found Dead In Van


• Lincoln Park couple killed in house blaze


• Police investigating murder-suicide


• Plane crashes into Lake Michigan

And that doesn't include Maggie Daley's and Cardinal George's cancer, the oppressive heat wave, and of course the Middle East, which has now descended into the 87th circle of Hell. Have a good Monday!
