A horrific shootout outside a funeral home on Chicago's South Side Tuesday night wounded at least 14 people, police said, in the latest chapter of violence gripping the big city.
Former Chicago police superintendent Garry McCarthy responds to violent clashes between police and protesters.
Police were interviewing one person of interest, but the shooters were not immediately known, Carter said. The victims -- all adults -- were taken to five separate hospitals. At least nine were listed in serious condition, the Chicago Fire Department told local media. The person in custody was not injured during the incident, according to Carter.Officers found some 60 shell casings at the scene.
"We saw a car with about six bullet holes in it and it was turned facing the grass like he lost control. We saw a hat down on the ground and evidently it was his," Kenneth Hughes, told WMAQ.Carter noted that a police vehicle was assigned to the funeral as a precaution because of the size of the gathering.
Cookie’s Cocktail Lounge, located near the shooting at 1024 W. 79th St., declined Fox News' request for comment. The shooting came a day after more than 20 people were shot Monday and after a deadly weekend in which 63 people were shot and 12 were killed.
