Chicago police are questioning a suspect as part of their investigation into a shooting at a West Side Halloween party that left 15 people wounded Sunday.
Police said 26-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition. The other victims were initially listed in good to fair conditions.Surveillance video from the area captured the moments after gun shots rang out near the party near 13th Street and Pulaski Road at about 1 a.m. People standing outside the party could be seen running away.
"Stupid people with guns kill people. I'm an ex-gang banger, but I put the guns down, because I value my life, you know? People should value life out here. We're trying to stand up and be good for the community, you know, and try to make people laugh, because laughter brings joy," Tunstall said. Chicago police plan to open an emergency assistance center on Tuesday to offer support for the victims of gun violence. It's at the Young Men's Education Network on Pulaski. Hours are from noon to 7 p.m.
Early this morning, there was an alleged act of retaliation at a Halloween party in the North Lawndale community that left 15 people injured. Initial reports indicate that the suspect was asked to leave the gathering before returning and senselessly opening fire.
