Chicago police believe gang-related violence led to the fatal shooting of
an 8-year-old girl that also left 10 others injured Saturday night in the
citys South Side.
According to police, the shooting took place near 52nd St. and South Damen
Ave. at approximately 9:18 p.m. An 8-year-old girl was killed from a
gunshot wound to the head, while two boys 1 and 7 years old were
critically injured after being shot multiple times.
Deputy Police Chief Don Jerome said police aided in response efforts for
the other eight victims, ranging in age from 19 to 40, by applying
tourniquets and chest seals.
The victims were reportedly standing outside at a family gathering. A
statement released by the Chicago Police Department said a witness saw a
black sedan approach the scene when the shots rang out into the crowd. All
victims were escorted to local hospitals around the area by the Chicago
Fire Department.
