Chicago's drive-by is one of eight mass shootings that have occurred across the United States over Halloween weekend spanning Florida to California.
It’s not clear if the shooters were targeting those attending the vigil or just happened to drive by the busy intersection that night. That time of night would also have been toward the end of Halloween trick-or-treating for many families.
The drive-by shooting was over in “seconds,” Superintendent Brown said. Thirteen people were shot and a woman was struck by a car as she attempted to flee the scene, the police statement said, amending Brown’s earlier statement that up to 14 people had been shot. The woman was “in fair condition” on Tuesday.
Five of the victims — including children ages 3, 11 and 13 — were in “serious” condition, and at least two were in critical condition. After the shooting, police say the SUV fled south. As of early Tuesday, police did not have any suspects in custody.Chicago has long experienced high rates of gun violence.
