Thirteen people have been shot at a possible house party on Chicago’s south side. All have been brought to hospital, with four in critical condition.
Police responded to the gunfire at around 12.35am on Sunday morning. According to local media, the victims were attending a house party held in honor of a 22-year-old man fatally shot during an attempted carjacking in April.
The shooting brings to 34 the number of people shot in the city since 5pm on Friday. Four of those shot have died.
It is also the most severe mass shooting, in terms of number of victims, in Chicago since 2013, when 13 people were shot in Cornell Square Park. Among the victims was a three-year-old child.
