4 people wounded in mass shooting in Chicago's Lakeview community
Chicago police early Sunday were trying to find the person behind a mass shooting in Lakeview, just a couple of blocks south of Wrigley Field.
At 1:45 a.m., four people were shot in the 3400 block of North Clark Street. Police believe an unidentified person exited a white pickup truck, took out a gun and opened fire, and fled north.
A 29-year-old man and a 28-year-old man were each shot once in the arm. A 29-year-old woman was shot once in the leg.
These three victims were all taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
A 25-year-old man was shot once in the shoulder and was taken to Thorek Hospital, police said.
The victims were all reported in fair condition.
An employee at a nearby restaurant said Sunday that their staff was still shaken hours after the shooting. The employee said as the restaurant was closing and putting up chairs, gunshots rang out all around the block.
Video showed crime scene tape strung up near Al's Beef, located in a narrow building at 3420 N. Clark St., where the diagonal thoroughfare meets Sheffield Avenue. Crime scene tape stretched down the block on the west side of Clark Street, past the former location of the Pick Me Up Café, and Neva Hangry restaurant at Roscoe Street.
Evidence markers for shell casings were also seen in front of Al's.
Police did not specify if the shooting happened at 1:45 a.m. daylight saving time or Central Standard Time, as there were two 1 a.m. hours Sunday morning with the time change.
All the restaurants in the area had reopened by late Sunday afternoon.
Ald. Bennett Lawson (44th) said he was unable to comment as the investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
No one was in custody in the shooting as of Monday afternoon. Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
