At least 12 people in a crowd on a Chicago street suffered gunshot wounds after an SUV pulled up and two people inside started shooting, police said. The SUV drove away from the South Side neighborhood, leaving two people, both male, in critical condition following the shooting late Friday, police said in a news release.
The eight men and four women in the group ranged in age from 17 to 47. They were being treated at four hospitals. Police said another man suffered unknown injuries and refused medical treatment.
Pastor Donovan Price, a local advocate for gun crime victims, told CBS News that seeing a mass shooting like this on Juneteenth, a holiday that celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S., is a tragedy.
Detectives were investigating. Further information was not immediately available. Police reported at least 21 people shot in the city since Friday evening, resulting in four deaths.
