CHICAGO - One person was killed and two others were wounded in an exchange of gunfire in Humboldt Park on Saturday morning.
A 31-year-old man was outside in the 1600 block of North Hamlin Avenue at approximately 1:17 a.m. when two men approached him in a vehicle. The men in the vehicle began shooting.
The 31-year-old man, who is a CCL holder, returned fire, hitting both the men inside the vehicle. He was shot in the torso and transported to Stroger Hospital in fair condition.
A 44-year-old man who was inside the vehicle was shot in the chest and pronounced dead on scene. The second occupant, a 37-year-old man, was shot in the shoulder and transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital in fair condition.
A weapon was recovered on the scene. Area Five Detectives are investigating.
The question always comes to me “why were these guys in a park at 1:17 a.m.?”
“He was shot in the torso and transported to Stroger Hospital in fair condition.
A 44-year-old man who was inside the vehicle was shot in the chest and pronounced dead on scene. The second occupant, a 37-year-old man, was shot in the shoulder and transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital in fair condition.”
Which is the better hospital? Just curious. and were they brought to separate hospital to prevent further possible violence?
I pick the Jewish hospital. They have the best lawyers.
