CHICAGO (CBS) — Two women were killed and another was critically injured after a shooting in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood early Tuesday morning. 

Three women were shot just before 5 a.m. in the 7700 block of South Oglesby Avenue, according to the Chicago police.

Police confirmed two of the women were pronounced dead at the scene. One of the women was identified as Oriana Rodriguez, 37, by the Medical Examiner's Office.

Another woman was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. 

According to police, the victims range in age from 20 to 30 years old. 

Yvette McKinney and her mom called 911 after the surviving victim rang her doorbell after being shot. She said she heard the young woman screaming before she saw her on the porch.

"We just wanted to make sure the young lady was okay. That was the main thing," McKinney said.

Ring doorbell video footage shows paramedics rushing to treat that victim.

"She was bleeding everywhere," McKinney said. "She didn't speak English, so she just kept saying, 'Police. Police.'"

Marcia Talbert also heard calls the victim's calls for help.

"We lived in a nice community. Unfortunately, there has been more violence as of late," she said.

Sources said none of the women were dressed for the weather and were only wearing T-shirts and sweatpants.

Police said the circumstances surrounding the shooting were still under investigation Tuesday afternoon.
