Part and parcel of living in a big city. Details,
Seven teens, aged 13 to 17, were hit and rushed to Stroger and Lurie Children’s hospitals in fair to good condition.
Police have not identified a motive, and no arrests have been made.
Barely 30 minutes later and four blocks apart, about a 5 minute walk, panic struck again near Adams and Dearborn.
There, officers found two more victims: an 18-year-old man shot in the leg and another person who later succumbed to their injuries at Northwestern Hospital.
Other reports identify the deceased as a fourteen-year-old.
Meanwhile, farther south, from ABC News,

The other shooter and an accessory were identified as juveniles.
Happy Holidays!
