This is a sad situation. Four people were killed and about 14 people were injured during a mass shooting in Chicago. 

The shooting took place on Wednesday night in the River North neighborhood. Reports say that at vehicle pulled up to the location and at least one gunman began to open fire at the crowd standing outside. After the senseless shooting, the vehicle quickly left the scene with no one in police custody. 

“When I arrived last night, it was absolute chaos,”  Pastor Donovan Price said. “From people screaming, to blood on the streets, to people lying on the streets, a massive police presence. Just horrific. More than I’ve ever seen.”

Price added, “The hospital was almost as chaotic as the crime scene as people searched for their loved ones.” The victims were in their 20s and 30s, and 11 out of 14 were women, according to police. 

Pastor said, “Seems there was some album release party, people coming from that. An SUV pulls up and just opens fire on a crowd of people. It can happen anywhere. It’s devastating.”
