CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Two suspects are in custody after a shooting that injured six people Saturday in Grand Crossing on the South Side.
Multiple people exited a home at 4:37 a.m. in the 900 block of East 79th Street after a fight at a party inside, according to Chicago police. A gray Dodge Charger then pulled up and someone inside fired into the crowd.
A 36-year-old man with gunshot wounds to both legs and a 37-year-old man shot in the calf were taken via ambulance to the University of Chicago Medical Center, according to police and Chicago Fire Department officials. Both are listed in good condition.
A 30-year-old man shot in both legs, a 29-year-old man shot in the calf and a 24-year-old woman with gunshot wounds to her arm and leg all showed up on their own at the same hospital, police said. The woman and the older man are in fair condition while the younger man is in good condition.
A 37-year-old man showed up at Jackson Park Hospital with gunshot wounds to his foot and lower leg, but was transferred to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition, police said.
A 21-year-old woman who was running away from the gunfire was also hit by a vehicle, fire officials said. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and stabilized.
The Charger drove off after the shooting and crashed into another vehicle a short time later on the Dan Ryan Expressway near 43rd Street, according to Chicago police and Illinois State Police. Two occupants of the Charger, both men in their late 20s, were taken into custody in connection with the shooting.
