Chicago shooting kills 8-year-old girl and wounds 10 people including small children, police say

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — Eleven people standing outside a family gathering Saturday night were shot including a young girl who was killed in what Chicago police believe was gang-related violence on the city’s South Side. Department Deputy Chief Don Jerome told reporters Saturday that the shooting happened when shots were fired at a crowd standing outside a family gathering around 9 p.m. “This was not a random act of violence. “The offenders’ actions, make no mistake, are horrific and unacceptable in our city.” Police responding to a gunfire alert applied tourniquets and chest seals to victims, who also included adults between the ages of 19 and 40, Jerome said. The investigation was still in the preliminary stages but witnesses told police that a black sedan approached and someone fired shots into the crowd before fleeing, police said Sunday.
