The city of Oak Forest is planning a community vigil Monday to remember the victims fatally shot in a domestic incident Friday in the south suburb.
The terrifying situation unfolded in the morning hours when a man opened fire on multiple people moments before returning to a home that then erupted in flames. Siblings Emilio Rodriguez, 20, Briana Rodriguez, 22, died from gunshot injuries sustained in the incident, and their deaths were both ruled homicides, according authorities. Their mother, Lupe Gomez, 43, was also fatally shot, and her death was determined to be a homicide as well.
Police haven't officially named the person responsible. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, however, said Saturday it ruled the death of one of the individuals, Carlos Gomez, 44, as a suicide due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At least four people are dead following a reported shooting, barricade situation and house fire Friday in Oak Forest, officials said. NBC 5's Lexi Sutter shares more information about the incident.
