Chicago police released new details after a child was killed and 10 other people were wounded at a family gathering on the South Side Saturday night.

Officers responded to a Shotspotter alert in the 2000 block of West 52nd Street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood at 9:18 p.m. and found several victims with gunshot wounds.

A witness told police that they saw a black sedan pull up and someone inside fired multiple shots into the crowd before fleeing southbound on Damen Avenue.

A family was gathered for a birthday party outside when gunmen opened fire with assault rifles and handguns, according to a police report. There were 75 shell casings recovered from the scene, according to the report. The first officers at the scene began lifesaving measures, including applying tourniquets and chest seal bandages.

    When they let repeat offenders back on the streets do everything to make the public as vulnerable as possible and don't do anything to eradicate the gangs like El Salvador did then this is the result.

    This wasn't a mass shooting It was a drive-by.
  • @GOSPELPOWERED01
    Society wants to glorify gangsters even ones from Hollywood and the music industry this is what it produces

  • @magerted64
    Wait, Chicago has really tough gun laws. So, your saying criminals dont follow the gun laws? Huh, weird
  • The cop say it gang related but family say they are not related to any gangs. So who telling the truth?
  • @swempley
    "Mass" shooting or "Gang" shooting? 🤔
  • @KenC69
    Impossible. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in America.

    I hate living in Chicago. My Lord. I hate it here. Hell on Earth.
  • @angelknox7791
    If this was a gang related event then someone was there that was the target. They don’t just shoot up a group of ppl. They have something going on. It’s sad a child had to die for adults actions
