Gunmen in an SUV opened fire on a Chicago crowd, leaving 12 people wounded

A quiet street turned into a crime scene after multiple shooters targeted a group of people on the South Side.

A summer day should be for family and friends. Instead, a South Side street became a place of fear and pain in seconds.

WHAT HAPPENED

An SUV pulled up to a group of people standing outside on Saturday. Several people inside the car started shooting at the crowd.

The shooters did not pick targets. They fired many shots and then drove away fast.

Police arrived to find 12 people hurt. No one has been caught yet.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS

• 12 people were shot and wounded.
• The shooting happened in the day on a Saturday.
• Multiple people fired guns from inside the SUV.
• Victims are in stable to critical health.
• Local hospitals are on high alert to help the victims.

THE BIGGER QUESTION

Why does this keep happening in the same spots? We often talk about gun laws, but we rarely talk about the fear that keeps people from feeling safe on their own porch.

Is the city doing enough to stop these groups before they strike? Or are we just waiting for the next bad day to happen?

THE OTHER SIDE

Police are still looking for the shooters. They have not named any suspects yet. Without arrests, it is hard to know why this happened. The facts so far come from witness stories and early police work.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

Local doctors are working to save lives. Neighbors are left to wonder if they are safe.

Police will spend the coming days looking at video and talking to witnesses. They are asking anyone with facts to come forward.

WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW

• Why did the shooters attack this group?
• Who owned the SUV in the attack?
• How many shooters were in the car?
