Fifteen people were hurt Sunday around 1 a.m. after a man with a handgun opened fire following a fight at a Chicago Halloween party.
CBS News reported a fight broke out at the party and a man was “rejected entry” after the DJ said the party was over. That man allegedly went to his car, retrieved a handgun, walked back to the party location and opened fire.
Fifteen people, ages 26 to 53, were injured.
ABC 7 noted the wounded consisted of six women and nine men. The Chicago Sun-Times pointed out two of the victims–a 26-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man–are in critical condition.
The other 13 victims are in good condition.
The man with the handgun fled the scene but was soon captured.
The Sun-Times indicated that 487 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2023, through October 28, 2023.
