Two teens were wounded and one was killed in a shooting near a high school in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, law enforcement officials confirmed during a press conference.
Police confirmed the teens were walking when a vehicle pulled up, and someone got out and shot them all.
Fire officials later confirmed that three teens were wounded in the shooting, two 16-year-olds and one victim under the age of 15.
The identities of the teens have yet to be released, but officials confirmed all three attended Nicholas Senn High School.

No suspects were reported in custody and the investigation is ongoing.

“The individuals who are responsible for this kind of violence – it has to end. The horror and chaos, and the trauma that’s being caused by these individuals who do not value life – the full force of government will be used to bring these individuals to justice,” Mayor Johnson said.
The shooting comes on the same day the Democrat-run city passed a cease-fire resolution, but not in Chicago.
As violence rages in the city, the Chicago City Council approved a cease-fire resolution in the Isreal-Hamas war in the Middle East. The city’s mayor ended up casting the tie-breaking vote.
