2 people were killed and another 8 wounded Thursday night in a mass shooting near a McDonald’s in Chicago’s Gold Coast Neighborhood, police say.
Two witnesses say they were walking near Michigan Avenue when they heard shots fired, sirens and police cars.
"It was frightening," one of the witnesses said."Cause you don’t know what’s going on. I eat by Subway here because it’s close to where I live. I go by this street and I go by McDonald's. What if something happens while I’m walking down the street? It’s frightening and it’s scary. It makes you feel unsafe to be honest."
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Police Supt. David Brown are expected to provide an update at 1:30 p.m. Friday, on public safety across the city.
