Four people were killed and 14 others wounded in a "deplorable and
cowardly" mass shooting in Chicago on Wednesday night, according to the
police superintendent.
Around 11 p.m., people were were exiting a venue in the River North neighborhood and standing on the sidewalk when a vehicle pulled up and
someone in the car opened fire on the crowd, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said at a news conference.
"They didn't care who was struck, and in a matter of seconds, they were
able to shoot 18 people," Snelling said.
The venue was targeted, but it's not clear who specifically was the
target, police said.
The vehicle fled the scene immediately and no one has been taken into
custody, police said. Two different calibers of shell casings were
recovered, police said.
Two men and two women were killed, all in their 20s, according to police.
The two men were identified as Leon Andrew Henry, 25, and Devonte Terrell Williamson, 23, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
Fourteen others were wounded, including several who were hospitalized in critical condition, according to police. The injured victims are all in
their 20s and 30s and 11 of the 14 people hurt are women, police said.
"When I arrived last night it was absolute chaos," Pastor Donovan Price,
who works to help victims of violence, told reporters. "From people
screaming, to blood on the streets, to people laying on the streets, a
massive police presence. Just horrific. More than I’ve ever seen."
The hospitals were "almost as chaotic" as the crime scene as people
searched for their loved ones, Price said.
"It can happen anywhere," he warned. "It's devastating."
A second mass shooting also erupted on Chicago’s far South Side on
Wednesday night, leaving four people hospitalized, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said.
"We are frustrated, but we are also grieving," Johnson said, adding, "We
will not rest until there is full accountability."
Despite the shootings, murders were down 32% year-to-date in the city as
of June 29 and shooting incidents were down 39%, according to Chicago's
crime data.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
