Three suspects were taken into custody in west suburban Hinsdale, after police tracked a vehicle that fled the scene of the shooting.
A 12-year-old boy was seriously hurt after he was shot in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood.
Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said the boy was walking home from the store with his uncle for a family party around 10:30 p.m. near 21st and Wood. At the time, Deenihan said there were three cars circling the area, and two people in an alley fired shots toward the boy and his uncle."This is just extremely tragic," Deenihan said.
The uncle, a 21-year-old man who has a valid concealed carry license, returned fire, but Deenihan said it does not appear he shot anyone.Officers tried to stop one of the cars that had been circling the area, according to Deenihan. A helicopter was able to track the vehicle to west suburban Hinsdale, where three suspects were taken into custody.
All three are gang members, and Deenihan said investigators believe they were shooting at the boy's uncle because they didn't recognize him from the neighborhood. Deenihan said the uncle is not a gang member. Detectives are gathering surveillance video and other evidence from the area of the shooting. No charges have yet been filed.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
