CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Four people were wounded in a drive-by shooting outside a restaurant in the West Loop early Wednesday — less than a mile from where five people were shot during a rolling gunfight the end of September.

The group was standing outside Alhambra Palace in the 1200 block of West Randolph Street when a black Jeep Cherokee drove past and someone inside opened fire at about 12:45 a.m., Chicago police said. The Jeep fled east on Randolph Street.
