Seven people have been shot during one attack on Friday night on the South Side, Chicago police said.
The shooting happened about 8:05 p.m. in the 1600 block of West 65th Street in the West Englewood neighborhood, said Officer Norma Pelayo, who was citing preliminary information.
Further details were not immediately available.
Other Friday shootings left a 27-year-old man fatally wounded and three others wounded.
A “young male’’ between the ages of 15 and 17 shot himself in the head following a foot pursuit with police in the West Side’s Lawndale neighborhood, according to Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
It started about 7 p.m. in the 1500 block of South Keeler Avenue when police “discovered” him with a weapon. Officers attempted to question him when he led them on a brief foot pursuit. Shortly afterwards, he tragically used the weapon on himself, Guglielmi tweeted.
The male was taken in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.

Rahm? Barry? Ya’ll get out of that bathhouse and figure out what to do about all the killing.
If only they had gun control laws in Chicago....
I might have worded it differently.
I was thinking the same thing.
For the victims it was just cold reporting of their ages and where they were shot.
For the shooter it was described as ‘tragic’.
Tragic?
And it’s only Friday night.....

Isn’t there SOME point where Chicago will run out of low-lives who run around shooting each other?
Tragically he took others with him.
Tragically this feral loser isn’t dead.
He will be, in cases like this hospital look towards organ donation. It may sound harsh, but as a former EMS worker I’ve seen it many times. They will keep him on life support until the arrangements are made. Maybe some good will be done with an otherwise wasted life.
"...isn’t there SOME point where Chicago will run out of low-lives who run around shooting each other..."
Chrraq weekend starts with a bang.
Tragic for all courthouse crowd who lost all that tax payer money for dragging the case out in court.
This article seems a bit disjointed. Did the teen shoot the other seven people?
#1. Why do you think Rahm and Barry stay in the bathhouse? They figure that if they stay there, the solution “about all the killing” will work itself out naturally, as in, let the stupid bastards kill each other.
Remember, this is “Chicago”.
A Kidney,
A Bladder,,,
It Adds up.
Whats the over/under for the weekend? Going to be beautiful weather and that always means high body count.
“Isn’t there SOME point where Chicago will run out of low-lives who run around shooting each other?”
