At least 13 people were shot in a drive-by shooting in Chicago Monday night, police said.
According to Chicago Police Superintendent David O’Neill Brown, the crash happened around 9:30 p.m. when a crowd had gathered at the corner of California Avenue and Polk Street.
At a news conference, Brown said one person was hit by a car at the scene.
Police had previously said 14 people had been shot, but revised the number to 13 in a statement earlier Tuesday.
Children, including a 3-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl, and a 13-year-old boy, were among the victims, according to a police statement.
Victims were taken to several regional hospitals with conditions ranging from life-threatening to severe, the superintendent said.
Brown said a group of people had gathered in a corner to lookout when the shooting happened.
“There could have been other people gathering for a variety of other reasons,” Brown added.
Two people traveling in a darkened SUV opened fire on people in the corner and drove off, police said in a statement.
According to Brown, investigators have obtained video of the scene showing the shooting took place in a matter of seconds.
He encouraged anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact law enforcement or leave an anonymous tip on CPD tips.
