CHICAGO — A masked gunman shot four teenagers, one fatally, in a Rogers Park McDonald’s parking lot Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The incident occurred about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday when a masked gunman walked up to a group and fired shots in their direction, said Daniel O’Brien, a police spokesman.
A 17-year-old boy died after being shot in his body. Following the incident, police closed off access to the McDonald’s at 6740 N. Clark St., where a sheet was covering a body in the parking lot.
A 15-year-old girl was shot multiple times and an 18-year-old man was shot in his back. Both were sent to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston in serious condition.
Another 18-year-old man was shot in his arm and took himself to Weiss Memorial Hospital, where he is in “stable” condition, police said.
The gunman fled in an unknown direction, O’Brien said.
Faye McCoy, who said she was a friend of a mother of one of the victims, said she ran over to the scene from a nearby store after the incident.
“We heard the shots,” McCoy said. “That could’ve been my grandson.”
O’Brien said it was too soon to tell if the shooting was gang-related.
