4 dead following shooting spree in Chicago area

Source: ABC News

Four people are dead, including the suspect, after an hourslong shooting spree across the Chicago area.

The bloodshed began Saturday at 1:50 p.m. when a man entered a parking lot on South East End Avenue in Chicago and shot a 30-year-old man who was sitting inside a car, according to the Chicago Police Department. The victim, a student at the University of Chicago, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect then entered an apartment building on the same street around 2 p.m. and fired shots at a female security guard, who was shot in the chest, as well as a 77-year-old woman who was retrieving her mail, police said. They were both transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where the security guard was pronounced dead and the 77-year-old woman remains in critical condition.

"He proceeded to walk into the building and I think she told him he had to leave the building and then he shot her," a neighbor told ABC Chicago station WLS. "So then she began to run and he shot her again."
