CHICAGO (AP) — A shooting near a high school on Chicago’s South Side has left three teenagers seriously injured.
Chicago police Chief of Patrol Fred Waller says two people are in custody and a gun and casings have been recovered in the shooting around 4 p.m. Monday outside Chatham Academy High School in Burnside. Charges are pending.
Waller says someone got out of a car and shot at the male victims, aged 16, 17 and 18.
