BREAKING NEWS:
Associated Press (AP) is reporting that 2 people died and three others were critically injured in a home invasion shooting in a South Shore apartment Monday afternoon.
The shooting occurred about 1:45 p.m. and multiple suspects fled from the scene and were not in custody, police said.
Deputy Police Chief Sean Loughran described the incident as a “targeted home invasion.”
“It does not appear to be a random act," Loughran said during a news briefing.
One of the victims managed to get themself to a local business about half a mile away for help, according to Loughran.
Besides the two persons killed and pronounced dead at the scene, three others were taken “initially in critical condition” to University of Chicago Hospital.
The ages and genders of the victims were not immediately available, but apparently no children were involved, Loughran said.
