CHICAGO – 15 hurt people were injured, 2 critically following a mass shooting on the city’s West Side on Halloween weekend, according to video and reports.
It happened just after 1 a.m. near Pulaski and 13th Street in North Lawndale.
Police said a suspect was captured a short distance away and placed into custody. A handgun was also recovered.
A witness in the front of the building said a fight broke out in the back at a Halloween party there. Things quickly escalated when one man was rejected entry at the door following the DJ’s announcement the party was coming to an end.
Kaylon Moses, otherwise known as Skinbone, is a well known comedian with a big following on social media. He says he promoted the party.
Moses said the suspect drank too much, and security kicked him out.
“Instead of just taking his L or losing from security, he went to the car and came back, which I still don’t understand, why he came back and just aimed at anybody,” said Moses.
The ages of the victims range from 26 to 53. Two people, a 26-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man, were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition. Thirteen others are in good condition.
