Four people were shot, three fatally, Friday afternoon on the city's West Side, Chicago police said.
The shooting happened in broad daylight near a sidewalk in the 4000-block of West Maypole Avenue in West Garfield Park just before 4:45 p.m. There was a lot of frustration from people in the community that ABC7 spoke with, who are just fed up with the gun violence.
An unknown vehicle approached the victims, and at least two suspects got out with guns and fired shots at them, police said. A 36-year-old man was shot multiple times and pronounced dead on the scene, CPD said. A 32-year-old woman was shot in the head and taken to Stroger Hospital, where she died. A male victim was shot multiple times and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he died. A 35-year-old man was shot multiple times and taken to Stroger, where he was initially reported to be in critical condition.Man shot to death inside car near KFC drive-thru in Calumet Heights, police say Chopper 7 was over the scene, where Chicago police could be seen investigating near multiple businesses, including a barbershop. Family members gathered at the scene of the shooting with heavy emotions as they try to comprehend the loss of their loved ones. "They're out here killing other peoples kids," a victim's cousin Shay Jackson said. "Do they not realize they have kids they have siblings they have cousins, aunties, uncles, and y'all just taking other people's children. This is crazy.""We talked to officer who tried to save him he said when he got to him he was on his stomach he tried to turn him over and help but there was no saving him," Jackson said. Jackson says she has now lost several family members to gun violence in Chicago and is pleading for officials and parents to do more to stop it. "Someway somehow they're getting these guns in here and their guns are better than the police guns and it's ridiculous yall need to figure no out a way to control this gun violence," Jackson said.INTERACTIVE SAFETY TRACKER
