As told representatives of the Chicago police Department (Chicago Police Department — CPD), the attack happened on 6 April, around 18:30 local time. More than 10 people with children gathered near a private home to arrange a holiday for kids. At some point, ran up to them and two unidentified men opened fire. Criminals didn’t care that the line of fire were children.

The attack resulted in 8-year-old boy received a gunshot wound to the chest and back, and 10-year-old girl was shot in the leg. Children in critical condition were taken to a nearby hospital, but doctors managed to save their lives. Were also injured 3 men and one woman who is now on the verge of death.

Police suspect that the brutal attacks are gang-related. Witnesses and victims refuse to make contact with law enforcement officers, which indirectly confirms the assumption of detectives CPD. According to police, it was revenge for the attack on members of a rival gang.

Law enforcement authorities note: as a result of gangster dismantlings most affected are innocent children. So they hope that someone from witnesses or victims still talk. Otherwise, the violence will get worse and innocent people will get killed.
