Chicago gunfire kills 3 people in 1 day

CHICAGO — A drive-by shooting in Chicago wounded eight people who had been riding on a party bus, one of several shootings in the city that left at least three people dead on the same day, police said.

Chicago Police Superintendent. David Brown on Thursday said few of the people wounded in each shooting are cooperating with police and urged community members to step forward if they know anything.

Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said detectives believe the people on the bus were targeted, but he didn’t provide any specifics. Deenihan said the bus had pulled into a gas station in Lincoln Park on the city’s North Side on Wednesday night to let people use the bathroom. Three cars pulled up, and people inside began shooting toward the bus passengers headed into the building, he said.

No arrests have been made.

One man was hospitalized in critical condition with a gunshot wound in the chest, police said, while the other men and women who were wounded were in good, fair or serious condition.
