Seven people, including two teenagers, were shot at laundromat on the South Side of Chicago Monday night.
Chicago Fire spokesman Larry Langford said the seven shot included a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old boy. Police said the others shot ranged in age from the 20s to the 50s.
Local resident Matthew Gillis said he heard about 19 shots.
“It sounded like fireworks,” Gillis said. “I looked out my bedroom window and I see these young guys running. Don’t know if they were victims of perpetrators. It’s kind of sad, little kids can’t play outside anymore.”
An earlier report from Chicago Fire Department officials said seven people were wounded in the shooting. Police said the seventh person was injured in his foot, but it was not the result of a gunshot wound.
Investigators have not released a motive and continue to search for a suspect.
