A house party, held in honour of someone who was killed earlier this year, turned into a horror scene as shots were fired and 13 people injured.
The shooting stemmed from a dispute at the memorial party, Chief of Patrol Fred Waller said at an early morning news conference. He said shots were first fired just after 12.30am.
Two people were being questioned, Mr Waller said. One of them was arrested with a weapon, he said, while the other was wounded. Mr Waller said police recovered a revolver.Mr Waller did not provide details on the person who was being memorialised, including who the person was. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who visited victims Sunday, said the party was celebrating the birthday of a person who had been killed.
The shooting started inside, then more shots were fired as people began spilling out of the house. Shots were also fired at a third place nearby, Mr Waller said. He described the shooting as an “isolated incident.” The declines happened citywide, including in historically high-crime areas. Still, Chicago still has more violent crime than New York and Los Angeles. Both cities had about 1800 shooting victims combined, while Chicago has had about 2500 this year, according to thePolice have credited Chicago’s drop in crime to the use of technology used to predict where shootings might occur, while experts also credit anti-violence programs that offer jobs and gang conflict mediation.
