A Monday afternoon shooting left eight people shot and three dead in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side, according to the Chicago Fire Department. The shooting occurred around 2 p.m. near West 59th Street and South St. Louis Avenue, CFD spokesman Larry Langford said. CPD Chief of Patrol Jon Hein said there were no suspects in custody as of about 5:15 p.m. The victims were four men and four women and ranged in age from 20 to 35, Hein said. Three of the men died of their wounds. The fire department had transported six to local hospitals while two of the victims had self-transported for medical treatment, he said. Police had been called to the address before, he said. Hein was unable to give many details about the shooting but said it appeared to have taken place at a social gathering. |
