CHICAGO (CBS) — Five people were shot Wednesday evening as someone fired out the window of a car during a chase through the Fulton River District.

Four of the victims were innocent bystanders.

Witnesses said at least two cars were seen chasing each other, and someone in one of the cars displayed a gun – and fired the gun out the window, according to Chicago Police Chief of Patrol Brian McDermott.


There were multiple crime scenes between the 800 block of North Milwaukee Avenue – at Chicago Avenue – and the 600 block of West Kinzie Street more than half a mile away, McDermott said.

Crime scenes were seen at Milwaukee and Grand avenues and Halsted Street, and a block southeast at Milwaukee Avenue and Hubbard Street.

McDermott reported one of the shooting victims was a possible suspect, and four were innocent bystanders.

Police said a 25-year-old man was shot in the buttocks, a 27-year-old man was shot in the arm, a 29-year-old man was shot in the back, a 30-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to the leg, and a 48-year-old man was shot in the leg.


The 29-year-old man was in critical condition. The other victims were in good condition.

All the victims were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital except the 27-year-old man, who was taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County.
Responding officers rendered aid to at least one victim, McDermott said.


Video from Citizen app showed an ambulance and fire truck at one of the scenes, along with multiple police cars.

“I was just finishing up my route – doing my deliveries – and driving this way. I look to the left, I see two guys with machine guns hanging outside the door, and just shooting,” one witness said.

That man said his tire was shot out.

The back window of a car was also blown out. Police were blocking nearby streets, and it was like a maze getting around following the shooting.

Area Three detectives were on the scene late Wednesday trying to find any possible witnesses and to download private video. Anyone with information may send an anonymous tip to CPDTIP.com.

I figured. I knew it. I was just about to google map that intersection to see if it was really in “DT Chicago”. Sensationalism at its finest. It’s still jacked up that 4 innocent bystanders got shot, but why sensationalize something that’s already senseless and deplorable? Why add spice to it?
